Step-by-Step Instructions for Rice Krispies Easter Eggs
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add 10 ounces of marshmallows, stirring until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and add 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, mixing well. Spread into a greased 9x13 inch pan and press down firmly for about 10 minutes to cool and set.
- Use an egg-shaped cookie cutter to cut out egg shapes from the set treat or mold the mixture by hand. Place on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of meringue powder. Gradually add 5-6 tablespoons of water while mixing. Continue mixing until smooth and stiff peaks form.
- Divide royal icing into bowls and dye each with food colorings to achieve your desired pastel shades. Cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
- Transfer colored icing into squeeze bottles and decorate the Rice Krispies Easter Eggs with patterns and colors. Add edible glitter or sprinkles while icing is wet.
- Let decorated eggs sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours until icing is completely dry and hard.
