Chocolatey Rice Krispies Easter Eggs
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter
- 125 g marshmallows (about 20 large)
- 3 cups Rice Krispies
- 18 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or more if you are looking for a stronger chocolate flavour)
- 12 cup butterscotch chips (or peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips)
- chocolate sprinkles or rainbow candy sprinkles
- 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.
