Remember my Valentines Day apothecary jar,
full of JUMBO ♥ shaped marshmallows?
Well, I used 40 of them, like the back of the Rice Krispie box says...20 PINK & 20 WHITE. BUT, since they are over sized marshmallows, I added an extra Tablespoon of butter & did 4 Tablespoons instead of just the 3 that the recipe calls for & 6 cups of Rice Krispie cereal to make
PINK EGGS!
I sprayed the inside of a plastic egg with PAM & stuffed both sides with the warm gooey cereal & melted marshmallow mixture.
I could barely hang onto it, it was so slippery & then I could
barely get it open, as it stuck so tightly.
I got exactly ONE egg done & gave up!! Smooshed the rest of the mix into PAM coated non-stick pans. Love these Farberware pans for stuff like this!!
You just have to be careful not to scratch them when cutting.
I use my plastic lettuce knife so it doesn't scratch them.
That's my tip for today.
The Rice Krispie Treats taste good though...just a hint of strawberry to them, from the pink marshmallows.
Well, back to the drawing board...it was a cute idea but I didn't have the patience to do any more eggs. I had too much else to prepare for the Easter feast on Sunday.
Thanks for stopping by, though.

Rett, I used to love Rice Krispie treats, but haven't had one in years. This is a cute idea! Hope you and your husband and extended family have a delightful Easter weekend. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteI love rice krispie treats...ok, here is a thought for next year....what about one of those "molded" pans they use for cakes or candy....it would only be 1/2 of an egg....but it might be easier!!
ReplyDeleteI saw those dumb eggs on Pinterest too and though they were cute. I should have known you would try it. You have a habit of doing all that neat stuff! lol
ReplyDeleteI bet there won't be one left, square or egg shaped! It was a cute idea and I'm glad you tried it for me:@) Happy Easter Weekend Rett-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteRett, I am bad because I am so happy to hear someone else gets frustrated over something that is supposed to be fun! I tried making chocolate covered eggs, cakes not candy, with the yellow yolk in the center...they either cratered or ran all over the cupcake pans...the only egg mold I had barely held a teaspoon of cake batter and they all cratered, so I resorted to cupcakes and still had problems! I think I will stick with something I have made a million times..
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Happy Easter!
I like the way you keep it real. Some things are good in the idea stage, not so good in execution. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteI am sure they taste just as good in any shape. I wouldn't like handling them too much, even though I would be constantly washing my hands! Happy Easter xo
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love a Rice Krispie treat? I'm happy you tried the egg shape and realized it was NOT fun and too much fuss. A square one is perfect any time! Happy Easter blessings.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame the eggs were so difficult because it's such a cute idea! Still delicious, in any shape :)
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!! Way to give it the ol' college try! Why do the really cute ideas sometimes have to be so darn difficult!! Happy Easter!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea Rett! It sounds like it would be perfect for kids to do on a plastic tablecloth so they could be messy and it would keep them occupied :) Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy Easter and delicious feast!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made Rice Krispie treats in ages - but they are one of my guilty pleasures! I always add more butter than is called for, because I like the taste and texture better.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Rett, I wish I had one of those right now. YUM!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and yours...
XO,
Sheila
LOL, an eggcellent plan that didn't quite hatch!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good Easter. I was so pooped from all the cooking, I did nothing today!
Is Spring ever going to come? Cold and rainy here!
