Peeps Rice Krispies Treats
These easy Easter Peeps rice krispies treats are a fun and colorful addition to your Easter celebrations. Your little bunnies will love them this Easter!
Equipment
- 8" (20cm) square cake tin
Ingredients
- 4 packets (3 oz/85gms each) different colored Peeps
- ⅔ stick (¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon / 75gms) unsalted butter
- 7 cups (245gms) rice krispies
Optional:
- several drops food color to match the Peeps
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grease and line the cake tin with parchment paper. Use a small sharp knife to remove the black dot faces from the Peeps.
- Set up four large pots on the stove. Add one quarter of the butter and one packet of each of the peeps to each pot.
- Heat the Peeps and butter on low to medium low, stiring frequently until the Peeps have melted and mix into the butter. Add the matching food color and vanilla if using and mix well.
- Add one quarter of the rice krispies to each pot and mix, taking care to mix in the melted marshmellow from the bottom of the pot.
- Use two clean spatulas to add spoonfuls of the different color mixes to the lined tin. Complete the first layer then another one to two layers for a lovely rainbow effect. Try to alternate the colors and not have two of the same color next to each other.
- Once you have used up all the mixes gently smooth down the top. Allow to set for about two hours at room temperature before slicing.
Notes
Storage:
These fun rainbow rice krispie treats will store well in an airtight container lined with parchment paper at room temperature for up to a week. After this they will still be safe to eat, but may start to go a little stale over time.
