These are very cute little easter baskets made out of Rice Kripie Cereal. My 12 year old grandson had fun making these with me for our easter.
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp
- butter
- 40 large
- marshmallows
- 6 c
- rice krispie cereal
- pipe cleaners or fuzzy sticks
- 1 small
- bag of shredded coconut
- 1/2 bottle

How to Make Rice Krispie Easter Baskets
- 1Butter 16 muffin tins and set aside.
- 2Melt butter and marshmallows in a large kettle on medium heat until marshmallows are all melted and smooth.
- 3Remove mixture from heat and Pour cereal into melted marshmallows and mix until cereal is well coated with the marshmallow.
- 4Place about 3 big heaping spoons ( or so )in each muffin tin (with tips of fingers dipped in cold water) press mixture up the sides if the tins , making a well in the center to form a basket shape.
- 5Stick pipe cleaners or fuzzy sticks ( located in the craft dept. ; cut in half )stick into rice krispie shell to form a handle; they will stay in once cereal mixture cools and sets , you can also use long licorice sticks for the handles and the whole basket will be edible.
- 6Place coconut in a zip bag and add 1/2 bottle of green food coloring and mix up until all the coconut is green.
- 7Fill a big pinch of green coconut in the well of each for the grass and top with several jelly beans in each basket.
- 8Let them cool in the tins until they have set ; run a knife around sides to loosen baskets and remove to a rack to continue to dry.
