Rice Krispies 2011 Making Memories Challenge & $100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway
Cocoa Butter Krispie Treat Eggs
4/12/11 – Congrats to Tina M. from Florida our Giveaway winner.
Rice Krispie Treats just happen to be one of my favorite guilty pleasures and yes I have been known to devour an entire batch on my own. So how excited was I to be asked to be part of a Rice Krispies nationwide challenge. I am on Team Philly with 3 great Philly bloggers. This year we are going to complete 4 challenges. The first of which was this Easter challenge. And we had an absolute blast putting this together and devising our own Easter Rice Krispie Treat recipe – Cocoa Butter Krispie Treat Eggs. We created an entire Rice Krispie treat Easter display to showcase our goodies – including an Easter basket made from Rice Krispies. I love my crafty Philly Team! Oh and we each get to giveaway $100 Visa gift card (see below for details on how to enter).
Our Rice Krispie Treaty Display!
A Rice Krispie Treat woven basket, a large Rice Krispie Treat wrapped Easter Basket and Rice Krispie Treat Flower Pops.
Recipe: Cocoa Butter Krispie Treat Eggs
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 3 cups Mini -Marshmallows

my favorite krispes treat is to make them into the shape of a hersheys kiss- you pack them in a funnel and wrap aluminum foil around them- they look great. I think i’ll make them for EAster and my kids b-day party
