What are Rice Krispie Treats?

Rice Krispie treats are primarily made of Rice Krispies cereal, melted butter, and mini marshmallows. These crispy 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! The possibilities are endless — in fact, there are dozens of fun Rice Krispie treat ideas on the blog.

I love how pretty this fun dessert looks with the colorful mini eggs and white chocolate drizzle! It can easily be adapted by simply using different colored chocolate or candy.

Try using: pretzel sticks, marshmallow peeps, pink or blue candy melts, M&Ms, pink candy, jelly beans, chocolate chips, festive sprinkles, and more!

Ingredients

Unsalted butter – Adds rich flavor and helps melt the marshmallows.
Mini marshmallows, divided – Melted marshmallows create the classic gooey Rice Krispie treat texture, while the extra handful adds soft pockets throughout the bars.
Pure vanilla extract – Enhances the sweetness and adds warm bakery-style flavor to the marshmallow mixture.
Kosher salt – A small pinch balances the sweetness and makes the flavors pop.
Rice Krispies cereal – The crispy cereal gives these treats their signature light, crunchy texture.
Cadbury mini eggs, chopped and divided – These colorful chocolate candies add a festive Easter look and delicious chocolate crunch.
White chocolate candy melts – Melt smoothly for an easy drizzle that adds sweetness and makes the bars look extra pretty.

Instructions

1. Butter or spray the inside of a 9×9 baking dish with nonstick spray.

2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add 6 cups of the mini marshmallows.

3. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring until the marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.

4. Add the Rice Krispie cereal and the remaining 1 cup of marshmallows. Gently stir until combined.

5. Add 1 cup of mini eggs and fold them in. Be careful not to tear into the Rice Krispie mixture too much and melt the mini eggs.

6. Using a buttered spatula, gently press the Rice Krispie mixture into the pan so that it is spread out evenly. Set aside.

Tip: The harder you press your mixture into the pan, the harder the treats will be.

7. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in short bursts of 15 seconds, stirring each time.

8. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the bars. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mini eggs on top.

9. Allow the bars to set at room temperature for 1 hour.

10. Cut into 9 large bars or 18 small bars.

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 crushed candy eggs. They looked and tasted just as good, so really, have fun with it!

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.
Place the Rice Krispie bars in the fridge to cool quickly 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my Rice Krispie treats hard instead of soft?
Rice Krispie treats usually become hard when the marshmallow mixture is overheated or the mixture is pressed too firmly into the pan. Melt the marshmallows on low heat and gently press the mixture into the dish for softer bars.

How do you keep Rice Krispie treats from sticking to your hands?
Lightly butter your hands or spatula before pressing the mixture into the pan. You can also use parchment paper or wax paper to press the treats down without sticking.

How long do homemade Rice Krispie treats stay fresh?
Rice Krispie treats stay fresh for about 2–3 days at room temperature when stored in an airtight container. They can also be frozen for up to 2–3 months.

Can you use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
Yes! Large marshmallows work just fine. About 40 regular marshmallows equals roughly 6 cups of mini marshmallows, so you can substitute them easily.

How do you cut Rice Krispie treats neatly?
Let the treats cool completely, then use a buttered or lightly oiled knife to cut them. This prevents sticking and helps create clean edges.
