A delicious Easter treat
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Serving Size 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 40 large marshmallows
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 6 cups rice Krispie Cereal
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 2/3 cups Cadbury mini eggs, chopped and divided
  • Optional*Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Grease a 9x13 pan with butter and set it aside.
  • Roughly chop the Cadbury eggs with a knife. Do this slowly and be careful. Leave some whole and various sizes. Some large pieces some small.
  • Once chopped measure half a cup of them and place them into another bowl for putting on top of the rice Krispie squares later, set aside.
  • Add the large marshmallows to a bowl and set them aside.
  • Set 2 cups of mini marshmallows in a bowl and also set them aside. 
  • Add the rice Krispies to a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a medium pot on medium low heat add in the butter and melt. Once it is melted, add in the large marshmallows only. Use a rubber spatula and stir until they are just melted. As soon as they are melted remove from the heat. This takes a bit of time but don't be tempted to crank up the heat. 
  • Stir in the vanilla. 
  • Add the melted marshmallows to the rice Krispies and mix until blended well. 
  • Add in the mini marshmallows and then the Cadbury mini eggs, but don't add the 1/2 cup you set aside. Gently fold them in.
  • Add it all to the buttered pan. Add a little butter to your rubber spatula.
  • With your greased spatula press it into the pan. 
  • Add remaining mini eggs on top and press them into the top. Add sprinkles if wanted and gently press those in as well.
  • Allow to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice into squares.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, put parchment paper between each layer so they do not stick together
  • Store any extras in freezer bags or in an airtight freezer safe container for up to 3 months in the freezer. To thaw remove them from the freezer and keep them at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to soften up.
