Instructions
- Prepare the marshmallow mixture: In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- Divide and color the mixture: Remove the pot from heat and divide the marshmallow mixture evenly into four large mixing bowls. Add a few drops of pink, purple, yellow, and blue food coloring to each bowl respectively. Stir each bowl well to combine the colors evenly.
- Mix with cereal: Quickly add 4 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to each colored marshmallow mixture bowl. Stir gently but thoroughly until the cereal is well coated in the colored marshmallow.
- Form treats: Lightly grease your hands with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Shape the colored Rice Krispie mixture into egg shapes. You can create multiple smaller treats or a few larger ones depending on your preference.
- Cool and set: Place the shaped treats on parchment paper or a greased baking sheet to cool and set for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.
Notes

- Use gloves or butter your hands to prevent sticking when shaping the treats.
- Customize colors by mixing food coloring shades or adding sprinkles for extra decoration.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
