If you’re looking for an easy treat to make this Easter, then this mom and kid approved Easter Bunny Rice Krispies treat will hit the spot!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 (10 oz.) bag of marshmallows
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Spring M&M’s (regular will work just fine, too)
- 2 round cake pans
- Anything else you want to decorate with (icing, sprinkles, etc.)
Here’s what to do:
- Grease both round pans and set aside
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat
- Add entire bag of marshmallow and stir constantly until completely melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in salt.
- Mix Rice Krispies into marshmallow mixture until evenly combined.
- Divide mixture evenly and press into round pans. (Using a greased spatula may help)
- Let cool then remove from pan.
- Use one circle to cut out ears and bowtie. (For even results, measure bow tie to 4 inches on both ends, and 1.5 inches in the center. See picture above for reference)
- Now assemble the bunny by placing the remaining circle in the center, two ears on top and the bow tie on the bottom.
- Then decorate how you like
Enjoy!
