Easter Treats Tutorial

Hailey asked me if we could make some Easter treats this past week. I was already making lots of rice krispy treats for cakes so I thought we could do something with them.
These little Easter eggs are rice krispies covered in white chocolate and decorated with coloured sugars. They are great to do with kids and very easy.

What you'll Need
Rice krispies
Marshmallows
Butter
Vanilla
White chocolate or any coloured chocolate melts you can get them from the Bulk Barn
Sucker sticks also at the Bulk Barn
Coloured Sugars

Make a batch of rice krispies, recipe is on the box, and shape them into easter eggs. You could also shape them into little bunny heads too. I find it helps to rub some butter on your hands this makes the rice krispies not stick to your hands. Let the treats sit out for a bit to firm up.

Melt some chocolate melts in the microwave. Start with 35 seconds in the microwave and stir, the heat from the bowl will help melt any little lumps. Make sure the chocolate is completely melted.

Dip a end of the sucker stick into the melted chocolate and insert into the shaped rice krispy treats. Give them a few minutes to firm up.

Dip the rice krispy tearts into the chocolate. I only cover one side but you could do both. I find it helps to use a spoon to cover any areas you missed. Tap the treat on the side of the bowl to make the chocolate smooth and place on a piece of wax/partchment paper. I dipped mine treats twice so the finish was smoother. The one on the left is one dip and the one on the right is two dips.

Once the treats are completely dry put some melted chocolate in a zip lock bag and cut a small hole in the corner. Drizzle the chocolate onto the treats in any design you want and dip/sprinkle immediately with coloured sprinkles.

Once the treats are dry you can package the in little bags and bows.
