+++Easter is just around the corner! You know what that means? Holiday-themed treats! 
I wasn't kidding when I said I love to make holiday-themed treats. 
These are incredibly easy to make and so, so, so affordable! 
I made these last year, and gave them out to Hansen's co-workers as a little Easter-themed treat, they were a huge success! Everyone loved opening them up to find a hidden surprise inside! 


Ingredients & Tools 
+ 12 Easter Eggs(cleaned)
+6 Cups of Rice Krispie Cereal 
+1 Package of Marshmallows
+3 Tablespoons Butter
+Easter Candy of Your Choosing (We chose Chocolate Easter Eggs..Yumm!)
+Cooking Spray 
+Large Saucepan
+Wooden Spoon
Directions
+Step 1. Clean your plastic eggs and set out to dry
+Step 2. Coat the clean eggs with cooking spray & set aside to dry
+Step 3. Using a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat
+Step 4. Once butter is completely melted, add 1 package of marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows are completely melted
Important Note: Keep stirring-seriously, until smooth. 
+Step 5. Once the marshmallows are completely melted, remove from heat

+Step 7. Stir until evenly coated with melted marshmallows. Now your mixture is complete! 
+Step 8. Grab a portion of the mixture and firmly press into each half of the plastic eggs. Use your fingers to make a hollow center in each half. Set aside. 
+Step 9. After you've finished making all of the eggs, add several candies (depending on the size of candy you've chosen) to each half. Gently press the two halves of each egg together until they stick. Set aside and let cool!
