These Rice Krispies Easter Eggs are one of my favorite Rice Krispie Treats variations - so cute and colorful! These Easter treats are a nice change of pace from the "boring" plain Rice Krispies Treats recipe.

Instructions
You will be making this recipe in separate batches so make sure you prepare three different bowls for each color. Each batch will require 1 tbsp butter, 1.5 cups mini marshmallows, and 1.5 cups rice cereal, plus one of the food coloring gels.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small pot on medium heat, melt butter and marshmallows together.
Once melted, pour into a bowl. Add food coloring and mix (don’t add too much food coloring! You want your shades to be more on the pastel side).
Add rice cereal and fold until cereal is well-coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Repeat steps for 2 other colors.
Grab about 1-2 tbsp of each colored cereal treat mixture in your hand and form into an egg shape (feel free to mix the colors – that’s the fun in it!). Place on lined baking sheet. Allow to cool completely before serving.
