Our Twist on the Easter Egg

Crash and Dash always appear excited when I bring up dying Easter Eggs.  However, each year I gather all the necessary materials and get everything laid out and we all get excited, they dye their first egg .... and then they're DONE!  Grr!  So I saw this on T.V. and thought we'd give it a try!  I also found out that Rice Krispies is a gluten free cereal ~ an added bonus!
Step One:  Make Rice Krispie treats as directed on the box.

Crash and Dash lend a hand....

 Step Two:  Allow Krispies to cool a bit, then with buttered hands, form egg shapes...

Step Three:  Melt chocolate chips according to directions on package (we use peanut butter chocolate chips), and lay out your sprinkles....

Step Four:  Dip the bottom portion of the "egg" into the melted chocolate, then dip into the sprinkle of choice ...

Step Five (optional):  Be sure to dip your fingers into the melted chocolate often to taste...

Step Six:  Once all eggs have been decorated, allow them to harden ... Then enjoy!!

We had a lot of fun doing this project, and the boys were engaged throughout the entire process ... much more fun for me than being left with one dyed egg and a dozen more to dye by myself!!
