Hi beauties! Coming at you with my M&M Rice Krispie Squares Recipe. Nothing says Easter like these pretty pastel M&Ms!
Here is a delicious recipe for M&M Rice Krispie Squares. These little squares are the ultimate treat to share with the family or bring along to Easter get-togethers. They're perfect for sharing, making and eating outside or toting with you on Easter egg hunts. I'm personally going to make them for my own Easter celebration with friends and family. You can make these squares in virtually any color you want — they would also be great as a graduation party snack! I love that they're fun, casual and so colorful.
The taste of these colorful creations is a little bit sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. The M&Ms give a nice burst of flavor and the crisp rice cereal provides a nice texture contrast. Enjoy them paired with cold milk on warm days or hot cocoa on cool ones — either way, they'll make an appearance throughout spring.
These M&M Rice Krispie Squares are such a fun Easter treat and perfect to share with friends or family. I just love how the bright colors of the M&Ms really make this treat pop, plus with the added chocolate on top you can't go wrong. These treats are so simple and easy to make, which makes them great for kids, too! Also, feel free to experiment and use other colorful candies in place of the M&Ms, like pastel jelly beans or gummy bears – just add them before you stir in the melted marshmallows.

How to Make Easter Rice Krispie Squares
The first thing you are going to do is line a 9x13 pan with parchment and then grease it. Then in a large pot, on medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in marshmallows and stir just until completely melted and combined (don’t overcook the mixture or it will harden).
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in vanilla and salt right away. Working quickly, add the cereal and M&Ms, and fold until all are combined evenly. Immediately transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. You can top with some additional M&Ms to show off the color.
Place a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper over the top to prevent sticking and lightly pressing it evenly into the pan. Set aside to cool completely to room temperature for about 1 hour, then slice into squares and enjoy.
I am always a fan of being able to find a quick but sweet treat on this blog. And these M&Ms Rice Krispie Squares fit that bill. They are simple and easy to make but are still fun for the entire family to make together.
