Cottontail Confetti Krispies

Inspired by SprinklePop's Cottontail Confetti Sprinkle Mix, a blend of pearlized grass green sprinkles and pastel Easter egg confetti, I decided to make our favorite easy dessert: rice krispies treats. I also added a few drops of the natural food coloring from Adams Extract and Spice. You can read more about them in my Spring Bling Meyer Lemon Almond Cake post.

Ingredients

• 6 T butter + more for greasing pan
• 6 C marshmallows
• 6 C rice krispies (I use an organic puffed brown rice cereal)
• 1 t lemon extract 
• food coloring, optional (I used red and yellow from Adams Extract and Spice)
• sprinkles (I used the Cottontail Confetti mix from SprinklePop)

Procedure

Butter a pan; I used a 9" round. Cover the bottom with a layer of sprinkles and set aside.

Place the butter and marshmallows in a large pot and heat until melted. Add in the extract and food coloring, if using. Stir until mixed.

Fold in the rice krispies and stir until well-coated. Turn the mixture into the prepared pan. And, with slightly moistened hands, press firmly down to compact the mixture.

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes until slightly hardened. Invert onto a serving platter. Let it cool completely before slicing.

There are so many possible variations you can make with rice krispie treats. What's your favorite?
