Crispy Easter Eggs - butter

Method

• Special equipment: plastic Easter egg molds and a clean egg crate
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
• Add the marshmallows and stir until melted.
• Remove from the heat, then add the rice cereal and stir until well coated.
• Take small amounts of the mixture and fill both sides of a plastic egg, slightly over-filling one side.
• If the mixture is too sticky, you can spray your hands with a light cooking spray.
• Press a chocolate egg in the center on one side of the egg, then close the plastic egg to shape it.
• (It should be full enough to meet with a little resistance as you close it.)
• Gently release the rice cereal egg from the mold, decorate with your choice of sprinkles and set aside in an egg crate until set.
• Repeat with the remaining rice cereal mixture and chocolate eggs.
