Enjoy!

Easter Egg Dipper Treats (from allrecipes.com, Kellogg's Rice Krispies)

Prep Time: 20min, Ready in: 1 hour

24 servings

3 tbsp butter or margarine

1 (10oz) package regular marshmallows

6 cups Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels or milk chocolate morsels

5 tsp shortening

Multi-colored sprinkles

Plastic easter egg shells

1. In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.

2. Add Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated.

3. Coat inside of plastic easter egg shell with cooking spray. Press cereal into taller half of egg with excess on top, snap bottom of egg onto top. Cool.

4. In small saucepan, combine chocolate morsels and shortening. Cook over low heat until melted, stirring constantly so chocolate does not burn. Dip bottoms of cooled cereal eggs into chocolate. Decorate with sprinkles. Place on wax paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Individually wrap in plastic wrap.
