Ingredients:
• 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 package of yellow Peeps
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of pastel colored candy melts
• Sprinkles for decorating
Instructions:
1. Prepare a baking dish
Start by greasing a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter. This will prevent the mixture from sticking to the pan.
2. Melt the butter
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in the Peeps and stir until they are completely melted and combined with the butter.
3. Add vanilla extract
Once the Peeps and butter are melted and well combined, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. This will add a hint of sweetness and enhance the flavor of the treats.
4. Add Rice Krispies cereal
Add 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to the saucepan and carefully fold it into the Peeps mixture until all the cereal is coated.
5. Press into baking dish
Transfer the mixture into the greased baking dish and press it down evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Make sure to smooth out the top for a flat surface.
6. Melt the candy melts
In a separate bowl, melt the pastel colored candy melts according to the package instructions. You can use any color you like, but pastel colors work best for an Easter theme.
7. Drizzle the candy melts
Once melted, drizzle the candy melts over the top of the Rice Krispie treats in a zig-zag pattern. This will add a pop of color and make the treats look more festive.
8. Add sprinkles
Before the candy melts harden, sprinkle some colorful sprinkles on top for added decoration. You can use any type of sprinkles, but pastel colored ones will match the Easter theme.
9. Let it set and cut into squares
Allow the treats to cool and the candy melts to harden before cutting them into squares. This should take about 30 minutes. Once cut, serve and enjoy your delicious Rice Krispie Easter Peeps treats!
Conclusion:
This Rice Krispie Easter Peeps treat recipe is a fun and creative way to add some festive flair to a classic treat.
