Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking dish: Butter or spray the inside of a 9×9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt the butter and marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add 6 cups of the mini marshmallows. Reduce the heat to low and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and kosher salt.
  3. Add cereal and remaining marshmallows: Add the 6 cups of Rice Krispie cereal and the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows to the melted marshmallow mixture. Gently fold everything together until evenly combined.
  4. Mix in the mini eggs: Add 1 cup of the chopped Cadbury mini eggs to the mixture. Fold them in carefully, taking care not to break the eggs too much or cause them to melt into the mixture.
  5. Press mixture into pan: Using a buttered spatula, gently press the Rice Krispie mixture evenly into the prepared 9×9 inch baking dish. Set aside while you prepare the topping.
  6. Melt the white chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate candy melts by heating in short bursts of 15 seconds. Stir after each burst until smooth and fully melted.
  7. Decorate the bars: Drizzle the melted white chocolate evenly over the pressed Rice Krispie bars. Then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of chopped mini eggs on top.
  8. Allow to set: Let the bars cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour, so they firm up and the chocolate topping solidifies.
  9. Cut and serve: Once set, cut into 9 large bars or 18 smaller bars. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Chopping the mini eggs evenly helps distribute flavor and color throughout the bars.
  • Use a buttered spatula to prevent sticking while pressing the mixture into the pan.
  • Be sure to melt the white chocolate slowly to avoid burning or seizing.
  • If you prefer, the bars can be refrigerated to speed up setting time, but room temperature setting is best for chewiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
