We love this fun, festive and easy Easter dessert. They’re simple and kid-favorites like our Easter Basket Cookie Cups and Easter Oreo Bark.
We Love Cute Treats!
Rice Krispie Treats are the perfect go-to recipe when you need a dessert, but you’re short on time and ingredients. For that reason, I decided to make a festive and easy Easter version – Easter Rice Krispie Treats! They’re similar to Easter Basket Cookie Cups, but instead of cookies for a base, there is a crispy rice cereal bottom. Why we love them:
Quick and easy. Making the actual Rice Krispie part takes just minutes, and this recipe is a no bake dessert! Decorating fun! The kids love to help pipe the frosting and top with the candy eggs. Love by all. Everyone loves these adorably festive Rice Krispie Easter Nests! They’re delicious, festive and perfect for any brunch, Easter party or get together.
Ingredients
marshmallows – use fresh marshmallows as older ones will cause the nest to become hard. Rice Krispies Cereal – brand name or store brand both work. They’re naturally gluten-free, but check labels to be sure. unsalted butter – or use salted butter. Easter egg candies – We used Cadbury eggs, but you could easily use Robin Eggs, PEEPS, Easter M&M’s, or another Easter candy! green food coloring powdered sugar milk vanilla extract
HOW TO MAKE Rice Krispie Nests
Storage Tips
STORE these crispy treats in an airtight container for about 2 days. Remember, the more open space in the container, the more likely they are to dry out. FREEZE unfrosted Rice Krispies in an airtight container, separated by sheets of wax paper between each stacked layer. Store these Easter desserts for about 6 weeks. Thaw, decorate, and enjoy!
