Before You Make

Do I need to brown the butter?
Yes, browning the butter adds a nutty, caramel-like flavor that sets these Krispies apart from the classic version.

Can I use regular Rice Krispies instead of the springtime version?
Absolutely. The pastel cereal adds extra color, but plain Rice Krispies work just as well.

Do I need to crush the Cadbury Mini Eggs?
Yes, lightly crushing them makes the chocolate easier to mix in and ensures every bite has colorful candy pieces.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1/2 cup salted butter
• 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal- I used the Springtime version with green and blue cereal colors
• 1 cup crushed
• Cadbury Mini Eggs
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup pastel sprinkles + extra for topping
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat until golden brown and nutty. Try to use a light-colored saucepan so you can see the color change.
2. Once melted, it’ll start to foam—stir or swirl the pan gently.
3. You’ll see golden bits form at the bottom (those are the toasty milk solids!) and smell a nutty, caramel scent—this means it’s browned.
4. As soon as it turns amber with little brown flecks, turn the heat to low immediately to avoid burning.
5. Stir in marshmallows, melting completely, then add vanilla.
6. Remove from the heat and fold in Rice Krispies, Cadbury Mini Eggs, sprinkles and white chocolate chips.
7. Press into a parchment-lined 9×9- inch pan. Sprinkle with sea salt and extra sprinkles.
8. Let it set before slicing into squares.

FAQ

How long do these Pastel Party Krispies Treats last?
They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.

Can I make these Krispies ahead of time?
Yes, they’re great to prepare a day in advance—just keep them covered so they don’t dry out.

Can I freeze Rice Krispies treats?
It’s not recommended, as freezing can change the texture and make them less chewy.

How do I keep the treats soft and chewy?
Don’t overpack the mixture into the pan—press it in gently to avoid dense bars.

What other Easter candy can I use?
Pastel M&M’s, mini robin eggs, or chopped chocolate bunnies are fun swaps for Cadbury Mini Eggs.

Sprinkle of Fun

Turn dessert into a pastel party by setting up a decorating station. Slice the Krispies into squares, then let everyone top their own piece with extra sprinkles, melted chocolate drizzle, or even a few extra Cadbury eggs. Put on some cheerful music, use pastel plates and napkins, and make it a mini spring party while you snack.
