Easter Egg Hunt Rice Krispies Treats

Inspired by a favorite springtime tradition, these fun & easy to make Easter Egg Hunt Rice Krispies® Treats are a must-make for your Easter celebration.

As always, all opinions are my own. 








The Easter Bunny is going to be making his rounds a little earlier this year than normal, but we are ready for him in our house. The soon-to-be treat filled baskets are ready to be assembled. Extra eggs have already been procured from the local farmers' market. And the Easter dinner menu is currently being planned as I type this. 




One part of our Easter menu that is already handled & planned out is the dessert. The youngest and I will be whipping up a batch of these super fun Easter Egg Hunt Rice Krispies Treats. :)





These bright and cheery Rice Krispies treats are inspired by one of our favorite things to do with Little Miss each spring- the city's annual Easter egg hunt at the local park. Kiddos from all over our hometown gather in excitement at the city park with baskets in hand. 




The egg hunt is sectioned off by age groups, and when the whistle is blown the kids go wild! They are all on the hunt for the handful of golden eggs in the field. Finding a golden egg means you get an extra special prize from the Easter bunny. We haven't snagged a golden egg yet, but I have a feeling this year is the year, folks. ;)





Golden egg or not, everyone gets to be a winner with these Easter Egg Hunt Rice Krispies® Treats...

During the holiday season I end up spending quite a bit of my time in the kitchen whipping up tasty goodies for holiday get-togethers, classroom parties, and for family & friends. 








Oftentimes, I like to get the kiddos involved whether it is just them helping to cut out the cookies, decorating them with sugars or sprinkles, or helping me give a classic treat a fun & festive twist for the holidays. 








Rice Krispies Treats happen to be a year-round go-to sweet treat for my family and I. But for this holiday season, we decided to give them a sparkling makeover perfect for that next holiday party or get-together with these Sparkling Snowflake Rice Krispies Treats! :)








We started with the classic simple, 3 ingredient recipe for Rice Krispies treats, but transformed them into a sparkling winter wonderland treat with a snowflake cookie cutter, a little white chocolate, and some pretty sparkling sugars...

With the summer ending and back to school almost here, I think we are all in the in-between place where we are excited for a new school year, but not yet quite ready to let go of summer break. So, I am on a mission to gently transition us all from summer mode to back to school mode. One easy and tasty way to do that? With the breakfasts and snacks that we enjoy like these easy to make and fresh Rice Krispies Melon Bowls! :)

These delicious melon bowls are filled with vanilla yogurt, our favorite fresh fruits, and the snap, crackle, and pop of Rice Krispies. Not only do I love that the "bowls" are edible themselves, but each member of the family can customize their melon bowls with their favorite fruits and toppings and the Rice Krispies cereal that we all love. Just set out bowls of fresh blueberries, sweet sliced strawberries, crunchy almonds, banana slices, and any other tasty toppings you would like, and let the kiddos go crazy creating their very own Rice Krispies Melon Bowls...

Easter and springtime both evoke a lot of feel good family memories for me. From my sister and I dressing in matching frilly dresses complete with bonnets, to Easter egg hunts, to a big family dinner with a pineapple rings and cherries studded ham, Easter has always been a time for family and for creating lasting memories. 





Another classic from my childhood Easters has to be jelly beans. I mean, who can think of Easter and not also think of those colorful candies? Granted, some people love them and some people could leave them (or could just ditch certain flavors of jelly beans- like those black licorice ones ;) ), but jelly beans have always been and always will be associated with Easter fun.





Now that I have children of my own, I am all about creating our own Easter memories and traditions. I love sharing my love of food and creating in the kitchen with my children, so it only seems natural that we should start a tradition of making something fun and tasty together for Easter this year. In these easy to make and colorful Jelly Bean Rice Krispies Treats, I have combined two family loved classics into one perfect for Easter sweet treat... :)

Okay, so I first posted this recipe WAY back in the day. Like in December of 2012. And I have finally decided 4 years later that it was about time that this little gem got some shiny new photos before Christmas. ;) 








Honestly, this post was far overdue for a little photography face lift. I had meant to do it last December (and the December before that), but you know... the holidays caught up with me and I ran out of time. But this year? I made the time, you all. 








The new photos definitely do these festive Rice Krispies treats justice! Not that the old ones were too terribly bad (you can take a peek at one of the original photos from my 2012 post below). 








But I am glad that I finally gave this recipe post a snazzy new update just in time for Christmas this week. Because we all need to have at least one quick & festive sweet treat recipe up our sleeve for that last-minute holiday party or get-together. Am I right, folks? ;)
