Chocolatey Rice Krispies Easter Eggs

"Cute little easter eggs with a hint of chocolate and peanut butter that kids (and adults) love. These eggs are so easy, since they are basically Rice Krispie Cake. These eggs can be individually wraped so they can be hidden with commercial wrapped chocolate easter eggs if you are doing an egg hunt for your kids."

directions

  • In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt margarine and peanut butter.
  • Stir in marshmallows, stir until melted and well blended. Stir in chocolate chips until melted; remove from heat.
  • Stir in Rice Krisies until coated.
  • Working quickly, shape Rice Krispies into egg shapes.
  • It is useful to have a hollow plastic egg you can press the rice krispies into as a form; we use a jello egg mold, then press the two half eggs together by hand.
  • If Rice Krispie mixture starts to harden, replace saucepan over low heat.
  • Let Rice Krispie eggs cool in fridge or at room temperature.
  • When cool, melt butterscotch chips in microwave on low heat for about 30 seconds at a time stirring often - careful not to burn!
  • Spread melted butterscotch chips on the top of each eggs; dip egg into chocolate sprinkles.
  • Let eggs cool; individually wrap in saran wrap.
  • This recipe makes about 14 medium-large eggs.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi! Thanks for visiting my page! I just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutritional Sciences in May 2008 after 5 years of hard work. My hard work paid off as I was accepted to a post graduate dietetic internship which I am currently completing and will be done in June. The internship allows me achieve professional designation as a registered dietitian. This is a very exciting but also a very busy time for me so I have not been contributing to zaar nearly as much as i'd like to. I have always loved baking and cooking and looking for healthier recipes or ways to make recipes healthier to fit into my lifestyle. I am pesco-vegetarian as I do not want animals to suffer for my consumption. I also love to be active in individual sports and train year round for triathlon. I am both an active racer and volunteer. The distance I prefer most is the Sprint distance - 750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run. This upcoming race season marks my 16th year of participating in triathlon. I love it just as much, if not more, than I did 16 years ago!! I also have a newfound love for Iyengar yoga. I have a profound love for animals and the pretty little kitty you see as my icon is my 16 1/2 year old cat Snuggles. Sadly, Snug passed away in March 2006, and is dearly, dearly missed.
