My son is a huge fan of Marshmallow Rice Treats and with my busy schedule as a mom, blogger, and now new wife, I figured why not have some fun with this recipe and make something together!

Pastel Colored Eggs

I tapped into my baking pantry and pulled out my awesome set of food color gels and decided to make pastel colored eggs. Hand shaping sticky concoction of marshmallow and butter did not sound exciting. Then, it struck me! Why not use the plastic eggs that we fill with candy to mold those perfect pastel colored eggs. Patting myself on the back for this genius idea… 🙂

squeezing the rice into the egg We got to work. Mixing each of the deliciously colored layers of treats and packing each layer inside of the greased eggs. We also greased our hands with coconut oil to help in the process.

I wish I could explain to you how much fun this sticky task was. Kids in the kitchen means memories for them later in life. Those are priceless moments for the two of us. I just love my little family!

As we took our eggs out of the fridge, we realized that our sticky work was a great success, there was a sense of unity that only our warm kitchen could bring.Pastel Colored Eggs

I would love to know what type of desserts you make in your home for Easter. What recipes do you share with your family that just make you bond and come together.

Sending you a BIG abrazo estos dias de Pascua! Warm Hugs to you and yours this Easter! – Maggie
