I should warn you, these will be hard to keep around! Everyone will want to eat them, especially when they’re on a stick! Food on a stick is just so much more fun to eat. That’s OK because this recipe is easy to double in case you need to make enough to feed a crowd.

Why I love this recipe
- I love anything that inspires creativity, and it’s a bonus that these are also delicious!
- You can have everything prepped ahead and ready to go if you’re getting help with the decorating.
- There’s no right or wrong way to do things! Decorate them however you like!
Gather these ingredients
- Rice Krispies cereal – You’ll need 6 cups. That’s most of a big box.
- Mini marshmallows – 1 10-ounce bag.
- Vanilla extract – Pure or artificial is fine.
- Butter – Unsalted.
- White chocolate candy melts
- Pastel food color
- Coconut oil
- Sprinkles – All your favorite Easter colors and shapes!
You’ll also need
- Egg-shaped cookie cutter
- Parchment paper
- Lollipop sticks – Or ice cream sticks; about 2 dozen.
How to make Rice Krispie Easter Eggs
- Melt the butter over low heat in a large saucepan.
- Add the marshmallows and vanilla and stir with a large spoon until melted and combined. Remove from the heat.
- Add the Rice Krispies to the butter-marshmallow mixture and mix well to combine.
- Butter the cookie cutter and your fingers, then place the cookie cutter on a square of parchment and fill it with an even layer of Rice Krispie treats.
- Gently remove the cookie cutter, leaving behind the egg-shaped treats.
- Slide one of the sticks into the bottom and set it aside on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat until they’re all done and set them into the fridge for a quick-set, or leave them on the counter for a few hours to set up.
- Before decorating, melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave – see the instructions on the package.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and mix until smooth. Divide the chocolate between small bowls and add a few drops of food color – 1 color per bowl – and mix.
- Lightly frost the eggs with the chocolate, then press the sprinkles on top. Set aside to harden completely.
- Enjoy!
Tips & substitutions
- Try to work quickly, forming the eggs as quickly as possible so that the mixture doesn’t start to harden. If it does, you can warm it up in the microwave in 10-15 second bursts until it is barely warm enough to be workable.
- You can use candy melts, too, instead of white chocolate, to frost the eggs.
- No coconut oil? You can also use melted shortening.
- Buttered fingers will keep the mixture from sticking to your fingers as you work with it.
- For cute gift-giving, wrap each egg in a small plastic bag and tie it with a ribbon.
Serving suggestions
These adorable Easter Rice Krispie Treat eggs make a stunning addition to any Easter brunch or dessert buffet. I love decorating the table with them and placing them around the ham and side dishes. If you’re designing an Easter dessert board or buffet, be sure to include other tasty eats like Easter Egg Cookies, this amazing Sour Cream Banana Bread, and all your favorites.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days.

Thank you so much for this! I was looking for something new and different to make for my Grandkids – I know they’ll love them!
HOW absolutely sweet! I love them…have a blessed Easter with your family, Sandy.
How cute are THOSE!?? I don’t know that I make a traditional treat every year…most years I do make Hot Cross Buns, and as an extended family we do our traditional Easter feast. It would be fun to have a traditional dessert though…I’ll have to give that some thought. Never too late to start!
I love this idea! My son is allergic to eggs so we don’t dye Easter eggs. We’ve tried making rice krispie treats into egg shapes and decorating but this looks much better. I will definitely try this in the next few days. Thanks for sharing.
