Crisped Rice Easter Egg Treats

These fun marshmallow Easter treats are as easy to make as they are yummy to eat!

Recipe Ingredients:

Nonstick cooking spray
1 (10.5-ounce) package miniature marshmallows (6 cups)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
8 cups toasted rice cereal
1(12-ounce) package NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Premier White Morsels (2 cups) - divided use
2 teaspoons vegetable shortening
Toll House Limited Edition Pink & Yellow Mixed Mini Morsel Toppers
Assorted colored sprinkles and/or sugars

Cooking Directions:

1. Spray a large mixing bowl with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Heat marshmallows and butter in large, heavy-duty saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 5 to 10 minutes, until smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Working quickly, stir in cereal and 2/3 cup morsels. Carefully transfer mixture into prepared mixing bowl. Cool for 5 minutes.
4. Spray hands with nonstick spray. Press marshmallow mixture into a 1/3 cup measure; then form mixture into an “egg” shape with hands. Repeat with remaining mixture to make a total of 24 eggs.
5. Microwave remaining 1 1/4 cups morsels and vegetable shortening in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 45 seconds; STIR. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10 to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted.
6. Dip top of each egg into melted morsels; shake off or scrape excess against side of bowl. Place each upright in muffin pan(s). Immediately sprinkle dipped end of each egg with Toppers, sprinkles or sugars. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until set. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
