Easter Rice Krispie Treats
These dairy-free Easter Rice Krispie Treats are a quick and easy no-bake dessert made with just 4 ingredients. Gooey marshmallows, crispy rice cereal and festive sprinkles make this a fun Easter treat for kids and the perfect allergy-friendly snack.
Equipment
- Large Saucepan
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- 110 grams Plant-Based Butter 1 stick or ½ US Cup
- 400 grams Mini Marshmallows 8 ¾ US Cups
- 170 grams Rice Cereal 6 US Cups
- 85 grams Sprinkles ½ US Cup
Instructions
- Grease and line a 9 x 13inch pan or glass dish with parchment paper. Add 170 grams Rice Cereal to a large bowl.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 110 grams Plant-Based Butter. Use a wooden spoon to stir the butter as it melts.
- Add in 300 grams Mini Marshmallows and stir continuously until melted.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the rice cereal. Gently fold to combine.
- Add 85 grams Sprinkles and 100 grams Mini Marshmallows and fold in. Do not overmix as this can cause the sprinkle colours to bleed and the additional marshmallows to melt fully.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared pan. Top Tip: Use a silicone spatula or a piece of parchment to smooth the top gently.
- Set the pan aside until fully set - this will take at least 30 minutes, depending on the humidity in your kitchen. Do not refrigerate it as it will firm up the marshmallows.
- Once set, lift out the slab of Rice Krispie treats and cut into squares.
Notes
- Yield: This recipe makes roughly 24 2-inch squares.
- Pan Size: You can use other pan sizes if needed. A smaller pan will create thicker treats, while a larger pan will make thinner bars.
- Marshmallows: I used a 400g bag. If you have a larger bag, use them all - no such thing as too many in this recipe! Just ensure to keep 1/4 aside to stir in with the sprinkles.
- Vegan Option: Use vegan mini marshmallows if needed and check the sprinkles ingredients - many use shellac, which isn't vegan!
- Texture Tip: Do not press the mixture firmly into the pan or the treats may become dense and hard. Gently spread it for softer squares.
- Serving Option: Serve these on your Easter treat table or individually wrap and use as a chocolate egg alternative for your Easter scavenger hunt.
- Storage: Cover with plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 7 days. You can also individually wrap or bag the treats to prolong freshness.
