Well, hello fabulous! These little Rice Krispies Treats were not only delicious, they were simple to make and oh so festive for Easter!
Shopping List
3 tablespoons butter
5 cups marshmallows
Pink food coloring
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 1/2 cups Easter M&Ms
Easter sprinkles
In a microwavable bowl, melt your butter (about 30 seconds or so). Once melted, add in your marshmallows and coat with melted butter. Microwave another minute and a half or so until marshmallows are melted. Remove from microwave and immediately add in your pink food coloring. Stir until incorporated Pour over cereal. Add in your M&Ms and Easter sprinkles. Mix well and then spread in a greased 8×8 baking dish. (Spray a spatula with Pam and press it over the top to get the cereal to stay put in the baking dish.)
Let the bars cool in the baking dish about 20 minutes before slicing into them.
Cut into squares and enjoy!
Aren’t they just so festive? My kiddos were super excited about these Krispies! The key to making Rice Krispies Treats easy is to do as much of the prep work in advance as you can. Measure out your cereal first, open up the M&M bag (and maybe munch on a couple), have your food coloring out and the lid off…this way, when you start assembling them, you can work quickly.
And I used pink food coloring (not red) to get my bars this pretty pink color. If you can’t find pink (which is readily available at the grocery store), then use yellow or green (or purple!). All are festive for Easter.

This is so embarrassing but I have NEVER made Rice Krispie treats. Ever. I am usually anti-baking b/c preciseness kills me. But with daddy out of town & stir crazy kids, I decided this was the perfect thing for us to make and eat. So yummy! Thanks for the cute idea — we did one light blue batch & one pink 🙂
