Rice Krispie Easter Egg Baskets
I am totally out of my element cooking for Easter. My only memories of Easter are being away on vacation and doing Easter egg hunts at whatever hotel we were staying at where I couldn't eat the candy because of Passover. So, when my boyfriend suggested we throw an Easter party, I was beside myself for what to do. Can I make matzah bunnies? (hard no) Kosher for Passover macaroons? (softer no) What about rice? I can eat rice! At this, I started looking for what I could do and came across a bunch of Pinterest recipes for Rice Krispie Easter Egg Baskets that I adapted for this recipe.
These are so fun and bright and were a total crowd pleaser at the party. They're quick to make (though not entirely easy) and people were so impressed I felt like Lauren Conrad. While I didn't go organic this time (I didn't do the shopping for it), next time I would. This isn't the most healthy, but if you use organic, it's not the worst for you and delicious!
The hardest part of this recipe is the stickiness of the marshmallow at pretty much every step in the process. You can minimize this by making sure everything has been well coated in a non-stick spray, using a plastic spatula, and washing everything as soon as possible.
Anyone else have a great recipe with Rice Krispies? I'm already planning for next year so let me know in the comments!
