Main Ingredients
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter
- 7 cups mini marshmallows, divided
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 1 ½ cup Cadbury mini eggs, chopped & divided
- 1 cup white chocolate candy melts
- Prepare the Dish: Butter or spray the inside of a 9×9 baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add 6 cups of the mini marshmallows. Reduce heat to low and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat immediately.
- Add Flavoring and Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and kosher salt thoroughly into the melted marshmallow mixture.
- Combine Cereal and Marshmallows: Add the Rice Krispie cereal and the remaining 1 cup of marshmallows to the saucepan. Gently stir until everything is well combined, ensuring the cereal is coated but the mini marshmallows do not fully melt.
- Fold in Mini Eggs: Add 1 cup of chopped mini eggs and gently fold them into the mixture, taking care not to break them up too much to keep their shape intact.
- Press into Pan: Using a buttered spatula, gently press the Rice Krispie mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Melt White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate candy melts in a small microwave-safe bowl. Melt in short 15-second bursts in the microwave, stirring well between bursts until smooth.
- Drizzle and Top: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the Rice Krispie mixture in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of chopped mini eggs over the chocolate.
- Set Bars: Allow the bars to set at room temperature for 1 hour, so the chocolate hardens and the treats firm up securely.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, cut the treats into 9 large bars or 18 smaller bars as desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- To prevent sticking, be sure to butter or spray the baking dish well.
- When melting marshmallows, stir continuously and keep the heat low to avoid scorching.
- Fold in mini eggs gently to prevent melting or breaking.
- For easier cutting, use a sharp, buttered knife to slice the treats.
- Store leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
