Step-by-Step Instructions for Rice Krispies Easter Eggs
- Begin by melting 3 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add 4 cups of mini marshmallows, stirring continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and mix in 6 cups of Rice Krispies, ensuring every piece is coated in the marshmallow mixture. Allow the mixture to cool slightly until it's manageable.
- Once the Rice Krispies mixture is cool enough to handle, press it into a greased baking dish or onto a lined surface to form a flat layer about an inch thick. Using an egg-shaped cookie cutter, cut out egg shapes and gently transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow them to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine 4 cups of powdered sugar with 3 tablespoons of meringue powder. Gradually add about 5 tablespoons of water, mixing with an electric mixer on low speed until the icing is smooth and glossy.
- Divide the royal icing into several small bowls, depending on how many colors you want. Add different food colorings to each bowl, mixing well to achieve vibrant pastel shades.
- Transfer the colored royal icing into squeeze bottles for better control. Start by decorating each Rice Krispies egg with fun designs; allow the decorated eggs to sit at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, or until the icing hardens completely before serving.

Notes
Avoid smudging the icing designs by ensuring they dry completely before stacking or serving.
