Have you ever swapped out Fruity Pebbles for Rice Krispies when making Marshmallow treats? The results are amazing!

Just yesterday, I was wracking my brain for a last-minute Easter treat to make for the kids this weekend. I had my mind set on Rice Krispie treats because they’d be quick and easy, but I wanted to make them special for the holiday.

My first thought was to use cookie cutters to make Easter-egg shaped treats, but then I thought of the Pioneer Woman’s gorgeous Krispie Eggs which are shaped like real eggs.

I checked my baking supplies, and dang! I didn’t have coloured sugar and sprinkles to make them look all Easter-y.

And then, I remembered I had a box of Fruity Pebbles in the cupboard.

Perfect!!

Give those a good stir until everything is well-mixed.

Shaping your eggs:

Butter up your fingers, and scoop a heaping spoonful of the mixture into your hand.  Squeeze it, roll it and shape it like an egg, pressing and pinching here and there to get it just right.

You’ll want to use a good amount of pressure when you’re compressing the egg – enough that it won’t fall apart, but not so much that you completely crush the cereal.

Repeat with the rest of the mixture, buttering your hands again when things get sticky.

I  used a plastic Easter egg to gauge the size of the first few eggs. I  made them small to fit inside of the plastic eggs so I could serve some that way.

I tucked a few more into colourful egg cups, and the rest, I nestled in a bright bowl.
