WHAT ARE RICE KRISPIE TREATS?
Rice krispie treats are primarily made of rice krispies cereal, melted butter and mini marshmallows. These Easter pops are made even easier by simply using pre made cereal treats, dipping them in chocolate and then covering them in candy or colorful sprinkles.
These krispy treats are so much fun for kids of all ages to make and add to an Easter dessert table. They’d be great for other events like a birthday party or bridal shower too!
I love how pretty this fun dessert looks with just pastel candy melts and mini M&Ms! It can easily be adapted by simply using different colored chocolate or candy.
Try using: a pretzel stick, marshmallow peeps, white candy melts, mini eggs, green candy melts, pink candy, white chocolate drizzle, jelly beans, chocolate eggs, festive sprinkles or more!
Make These Rice Krispie Easter Treats

Ingredients:
- Four Original Rice Krispie Squares (or homemade)
- 2 oz each Pink Chocolate Candy Melts, Yellow Wilton Candy Melts and Blue Candy Melts
- 1/4 cup mini pastel M&Ms
- 1 Tbsp pink sprinkles (optional)
- Eight, 4″ lollipop sticks (optional)
Tip: homemade rice krispie treats work just as well as store bought ones but using premade squares cuts out some of the work. Find the homemade recipe at the bottom of this post!
Directions
1. Unwrap the rice krispie treats, cut them in half and place a lollipop stick into each one. Alternatively they can be shaped into nest shapes or egg shapes.
2. In separate small bowls, melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave at 15 second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely smooth. Dip the rice krispie square into the chocolate half way.
3. Place the treats on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
4. Add the candy and sprinkles to the melted chocolate before it cools. Press the candy into the chocolate so that it really sticks.
5. Place the crispy treats in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.
I have made this easy dessert before where I used an easter egg shape and covered the rice krispie cereal treats with frosting in a piping bag and candy eggs. They looked and tasted just as good so really, the sky is the limit with this recipe.
TIPS FOR MAKING THESE EASY EASTER TREATS:
- Use Wilton candy melts for best results, the wafer chocolate melts the best. Add one teaspoon of coconut oil to other melted chocolate chips to help them melt and pour better.
- Lay the chocolate covered treat on a parchment lined baking sheet for easy moving and transporting before the chocolate has hardened.
- Place the chocolate in the fridge or freezer to completely cool before serving.
- Store these yummy treats in a large freezer bag or airtight container for up to three months at room temperature. They can also be stored in the fridge to prevent the chocolate from melting.
