Ingredients

  • 7 cups mini marshmallows divided
  • 4 TBSP butter
  • 6 cups rice Krispie cereal
  • green food coloring
  • Easter candies

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, pour in 6 cups of the mini marshmallows. 
  • Then, cut the butter into tablespoon size squares and add them to the marshmallow bowl. 
  • Next, microwave the butter and marshmallows for 1 minute and25 seconds. 
  • Once that mixture is melted, remove from the microwave and pour in the rice krispie cereal and stir well until fully combined. 
  • After that, stir in the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows. 

Make them green

  • Now it is time to make your mixture green. You can use the tiny squeeze bottles orgel food coloring, just start slow and add more green to get the coloring that you prefer.  Light or dark green, you can't go wrong either way. You can also use natural food coloring, but know that you will have to use a significantly larger amount

Creating the shape

  • Using a mini muffin tin, transfer 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture and press in the center to create a cavity. 
  • The candies will stick better if you create a good cavity, so make sure you push down a good amount! Let the treats cool to set for 1hour.
  • Then, use a thin knife to gently pop each marshmallow basket out of the muffin tin cups.
  • Place 2-4 Easter candies in each basket. Candies will stick better once they have a chance to set.
  • Serve and enjoy!
