How to make easter rice krispie treats

Over medium heat, melt butter in a large saucepan.

Add mini marshmallows, one cup at a time, until melted.

Remove from heat and add cereal, one cup at a time, to the melted marshmallow mixture.

Butter mold and hands

Press the rice krispie mixture into each mold and let it set.

These are made from the traditional Rice Krispie Treats recipe, but the fun begins when you use a mold to make the crispy shape and add some fun Easter sprinkles too (affiliate link)

I used the silicone football mold to make the oval shapes, then just pinched the ends in from the bottom of the pan to make the oval more of a round shape.

You can also use a football cookie cutter for these. Just cut them from a 13″ x 9″ baking pan.

Another way to decorate is to ice the snacks with white chocolate or candy wafers and then decorate with colored sprinkles. Both offer a fun and festive Easter dessert idea. 

Tips for best results

• Butter your hands and molds to easily handle the gooey marshmallow and cereal mixture.
• Use nonstick cooking spray or butter to prevent the mixture from sticking to molds.
• Allow the treats to set completely before removing them from molds for the best shape.

Substitutions and Variations

• Experiment with different colored candy melts for a variety of hues.
• Add jelly beans or chocolate Easter eggs for a surprise center.
• Use fruity pebbles instead of traditional crispy rice cereal for a fruity twist.
• Add a few drops of food coloring to the melted marshmallows to make them extra festive.
