If you are on the lookout for an Easter treat that is not fully chocolate these Easter rice krispies are just for you! As much as I love chocolate, it is nice to have a non-chocolate option for the holiday.
These 5 ingredient rice krispie treats are the perfect addition to your Easter celebrations. They make a great gift too! Simply slice into squares and package into containers or cellophane and tie closed with a ribbon.
I have always loved rice krispie treats and I am and HUGE fan of mini eggs so I thought the perfect Easter treat would be a combination of the two!
What is in Easter Rice Krispie Treats?
- Marshmallows – we can’t make rice krispie treats without marshmallows! I prefer using mini marshmallows as they melt faster.
- Crispy Rice Cereal – any variety of your favorite crispy rice cereal can be used
- Butter – melted with the marshmallows to create the base for these treats
- Vanilla – a splash of vanilla is added to the rice krispie treat base
- Mini Eggs – to make these treats Easter themed I love using mini eggs! However, you can use your favorite candy coated chocolate such as M&M’s or Smarties
- Sprinkles – to finish off these treats, sprinkles are added on top for an added festive pop of colour
