Rice Krispie Treats Dipped in White Chocolate and colored for Spring - so beautiful, so tasty and so easy to make. Your family will love them for Easter or as a special Springtime treat.

Ingredients

  • 8 cups Kellogg’s Rice Krispie Cereal
  • 8 cups Mini Marshmallows
  • 8 tablespoons Butter (Sweet Cream, Salted)
  • Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers (approx. 50)
  • Wilton Color Right Food Coloring System
  • Cookie Cutters

Instructions

  1. For each color of Rice Krispie Treats you make you will need an individual batch made with 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 cups of marshmallows, and 2 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal.   Melt the butter in a large pan on medium heat.  Add the marshmallows and stir until melted.
  2. To tint the Rice Krispie Treat mixture Blue, Purple, Pink, and Yellow add food coloring to the melted marshmallow mixture before you add the Rice Krispie cereal.
  3. Pick fun Spring/Easter-themed cookie cutters like a bunny, a butterfly, a tulip, and a duck.
  4. Once the mixture had cooled enough to handle fill the cookie cutters with the Rice Krispie Treat mixture to form the Rice Krispie Treat. Push the Rice Krispie Treat out of the cookie-cutter and place it on a cookie sheet to cool and firm up.
  5. To dip the Treats in White Chocolate, place 25-30 white chocolate melting wafers in a bowl and melt them in the microwave.  Started with 30 seconds, stir the chocolate and then microwave for another 10 seconds.  Continue this process in 10-second intervals until the wafers are melted.
  6. Lay the Rice Krispie Treats into the bowl of chocolate and swish it around a bit to get the chocolate up the sides.
  7. Place the Rice Krispie Treat on a piece of parchment paper, chocolate side up to dry. Re-dip the treat a second time if you want a good layer of White Chocolate on the bottom of the treat.
