Easter Rice Krispies Treats with White Chocolate and Pastel Sprinkles Recipe
Ingredients
7 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
10 oz bag Jet Puffed Mini Marshmallows
6 Tbsp salted butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
12 oz bag white chocolate chips
1 Tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
Your favorite Easter-themed sprinkles
Instructions:
Prepare the Marshmallow Mixture:
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt 6 tablespoons of salted butter over medium/low heat. Add ¾ of the 16 oz bag of mini marshmallows, stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth.
Combine with Rice Krispies:
In a large mixing bowl, pour in 7 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and stir until well combined. Add the remaining ¼ of marshmallows to the mixture and mix them in for added texture.
Set the Mixture:
Transfer the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and press it down evenly to form a uniform layer. Let it set for about 5 minutes.
Cut the Shapes:
Lightly spray the bottom of your favorite spring-shaped cookie cutters with non-stick spray. Carefully cut out shapes from the Rice Krispies mixture, pressing the cutters as close together as possible to maximize the number of cutouts.
Melt the White Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the entire bag of white chocolate chips. Microwave at 40% power for about 3 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds. Once melted, stir in 1 tablespoon of coconut or vegetable oil to make the chocolate smoother and easier to work with.
Dip the Rice Krispies Treats:
Pour your favorite Easter sprinkles into separate bowls. Dip the top half of each Rice Krispies shape into the melted white chocolate, shaking off any excess. Immediately press the dipped portion into the sprinkles, allowing them to stick. Let the chocolate set.
Decorate with Semi-Sweet Chocolate:
In a plastic pastry bag, add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave at 40% power for about 2 minutes, checking every 20 seconds to massage the bag and ensure the chocolate melts completely. Once melted, cut the tip of the bag to create a narrow opening for piping.
Pipe Decorations:
Pipe cute bunny faces or decorative patterns onto the dipped Rice Krispies shapes. Get creative with your designs!
Let Set and Enjoy:
Allow the chocolate decorations to set fully before serving. For the best experience, store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be sure to take them out 10-15 minutes before eating, so they soften slightly and are easier to enjoy.
Tips To Making Easy Easter Rice Krispies Treats
Use non stick spray! Make sure to use non stick spray on the bottoms of the cookie cutters for a clean cut edge.
Cut a narrow tip on your piping bag. Make sure to cut the tip on the piping bag fine when you go to pipe the semi-sweet chocolate.
Let the chocolate set. Make sure to let the white and semi-sweet chocolate set fully before storing in an airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator. Store in the refrigerator for lasting freshness!
