Crispy Easter Eggs

Ingredients:
3 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
1 package(s) (10 1/2-ounce) mini marshmallows
Assorted food coloring (optional)
6 cup(s) crisp rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
Assorted pastel M&M’s (preferably Minis), frozen (optional)


Directions

1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Stir in marshmallows and cook until marshmallows are completely melted and blended into butter. Remove from heat. Tint mixture with food coloring, if you wish. (You can also make recipe in two or more separate batches to make different colors.)

2. Stir in cereal until it is completely coated with marshmallow mixture.

3. Mist hands generously with cooking spray. Shape cereal mixture into 15 to 20 ovals (work quickly while mixture is still warm and soft). If you like, press M&M’s into eggs to make stripes or polka dots. Cool completely. Wrap in cellophane or store in an airtight container.
