Rice Krispie Easter Eggs

These are so fun to make and decorate!  I try to find delicious treats, like Cake Pops! and these beautiful Rice Krispie Eggs to make so everyone can have something sweet to eat.

INGREDIENTS

4 tablespoons salted butter
One 10-ounce package mini marshmallows
6 cups rice cereal
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying hands, optional
Pam non-stick cooking spray
Assorted sprinkles, for decorating

DIRECTIONS

• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from the heat, then add the rice cereal and stir until well coated.
• If it's too sticky, spray a little Pam or non-stick cooking spray on the tips of your fingers - not too much, though, you want the sprinkles to stick. 
• Take small amounts of the mixture and fill both sides of a plastic egg, slightly over-filling one side, then close the plastic egg to shape it.
• Gently release the rice cereal egg from the mold, decorate with your choice of sprinkles and set aside in an egg crate until set. Repeat with the remaining rice cereal mixture and chocolate eggs.
