Easter Egg Basket Treats
This year’s Easter celebrations are starting to look a little bleak. At least, in terms of large family gatherings. Thanks Covid-19. Even if your Easter is looking to include a few less friends and family members than usual, it doesn’t mean that you can’t have a little fun and make a batch of Easter Egg Basket Treats.

This recipe idea uses the classic Rice Krispie marshmallow treat we all know and love to create what looks like an Easter basket.

Shredded coconut died with a little green food coloring becomes your “Easter grass” filling and creates a base to fill your basket.

Add jelly beans, Whoppers Easter Robin eggs, Reese’s Pastel Pieces Easter eggs (my favorite…. and what I used).
I love me that perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter!

If you are a fan of an (overly sweet) Peep marshmallow.
Add a little pastel chick on top of the basket to complete the look!

So pair this special Easter dessert with your baked ham, cheesy hash brown potatoes, sweet chili sauteed green beans, and any other recipe that makes your Sunday meal complete.
Your family will be sure to love this edible Easter basket treat!
