Rice Krispie Peek-a-boo Baby Chicks

There are just a really cute & yummy treat for Easter!  Below is the instructions for 1 batch.  I made 4 batches with 4 different colors.

What you need:

• 5 oz of marshmallows
• Yellow frosting (chilled)
• Round blue & orange sprinkles
• Food coloring of your choice
• 3 Cups Rice Krispie cereal
• 2 TBS butter (separated)

What to do:

1. In a large pot melt butter over low heat.
2. Add the marshmallows & stir until melted.
3. Add a drop of food coloring at a time, until you reach the color you want.  Stir well.
4. Mix the rice krispies & marshmallow mixture together.
5. Let cool for 10 minutes.
6. Form into an egg shape.  I found that adding a little butter to your hands prevents it from sticking to you.
7. Cut the egg shape in half.
8. Place frosting in a zip lock bag and cut the end off.  Squirt frosting onto one half of the bottom of the egg.  If frosting starts to get runny place in refrigerator for 5 minutes.
9. Place the top back on at an angle.
10. Use a butter knife to smooth out the frosting.
11. Add blue & orange sprinkles for the eyes & beak.
12. Place in refrigerator to set.
