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!!
