Start making rice krispie treats using the directions on the back of the marshmallows or rice krispie box with 1 exception. Double the amount of butter called for. Yes - this makes them less healthy, but are rice krispie treats really supposed to be considered a helathy snack? Plus, if you don't, the treats turn rock hard within a few hours and are rendered inedible. When the marshmallows are melted into the butter, add a few drops of food coloring. If you want 2 different colors of eggs, divide the marshmallows and butter between 2 pots and add a different color in each. Stir in the rice krispies. (3 cups in 1 pot and 3 cups in the second pot if you're making 2 colors.)
Scoop some krispie mixture into plastic easter eggs until they will be full when closed. (Some say to spray the eggs with PAM first, but I found that mine didn't stick to the eggs and then I didn't have to deal with greasy plastic eggs when we were finished.)
CLose the eggs and let the rice krispie mixture cool, about a half hour to an hour.
Remove the plastic egg and the rice krispies should be in an egg shape.
