Secret Ingredient Easter Rice Krispies Treats

Making rice krispies treats anytime of the year is the perfect time of the year for these treats. Am I right? I’m right. I could devour a whole pan all on my own. I just can’t resist that gooey marshmallow goodness.

Whenever holidays roll around I love to get to baking in my kitchen. This year I felt inspired to not only make rice crispy treats, but to make them Spring and Easter themed treats.

A little food coloring and an Easter cookie cutter set was all it took to transform these Rice Krispie treats into the cutest Easter treats ever.

These treats don’t last long in my house as it it. Add one simple secret ingredient and they’ll fly off the plate faster than ever.

Secret Ingredient Easter Rice Krispies Treats

You’ll need these ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 package (10 oz., about 40) JET-PUFFED Marshmallows — OR — 4 cups JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows
• 6 cups Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® cereal
• AND the secret ingredient: 2 cups of white chocolate chips!

For Easter version you’ll also need

• Food coloring
• Easter or Spring cookie cutters

1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Add white chocolate chips and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.

To color Rice Krispie treats add food coloring a few drops at a time for desired color. For multiple colors make smaller batches in different pots and stir coloring in. You’ll need to do this before removing from heat so your mixture doesn’t cool too much before adding your Rice Krispies cereal.

2. Add KELLOGG’S RICE KRISPIES cereal. Stir until well coated.

3. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool.

Flip Rice Krispies treats onto a sheet of parchment or wax paper and cut out shapes with cookie cutters.

Best if served the same day.
