How to Make Easter Chick Rice Krispie Treats

Grease a small 9×13” pan with butter or a non stick cooking spray. In a large microwave safe bowl, heat the marshmallows with 3 tablespoons of butter and heat for 1-2 minutes until the marshmallows get puffy. Mix in a couple drops of food coloring in the marshmallow mixture. Now mix in six cups of Rice Krispies cereal in with the marshmallows.

Scoop the mixture into your pan, pressing down firmly with a potato masher and freeze for 15 minutes before using a circle cookie cutter to cut out your shapes.

Heat the candy melts on 50% power for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds and pour into a decorating bag. Use the melted candy melts to stick the eyes into the top front of the chicks and draw a beak and feet below.
