We love Rice Krispie Treats. And we love Easter Peeps. So what could be better than Rice Krispie Easter Bunny Peeps? If you answered … absolutely nothing then we are on the same page. We used a fun Peeps Easter Bunny cookie cutter and our versatile Rice Krispie Treat recipe to create these adorable Easter treats.
How to Make the Rice Krispie Treat Mixture
For each color batch of Rice Krispie Easter Bunny Peeps, you will need to make a 2 cup batch (2 tbsp. butter, 2 cups marshmallows, and 2 cups Rice Krispies Cereal) of our tried and true The Best Ever Rice Krispie Treat Recipe. You can find all the tips and tricks to make our yummy version of this classic recipe right here.
To tint the Rice Krispie Treat mixture, add food coloring to the melted marshmallow mixture before you add the Rice Krispie cereal. We used the follow food coloring combinations to make these pretty iconic Rice Krispie Easter Bunny Peeps:
Pink: 2 small drops of Pink Wilton Color Right Food Coloring
Purple: 4 drops of Pink Wilton Color Right Food Coloring and 2 drops of Blue Wilton Color Right Food Coloring
Yellow: 2 drop of Yellow Wilton Color Right Food Coloring
Blue: 2 drops of Blue Wilton Color Right Food Coloring
How to make the Rice Krispie Peeps
These are the Peeps Easter Bunny Cookie Cutters that we used to make these fun Rice Krispie Treats. We found them at Amazon but we’ve also seen them in craft stores.
We made one color of the Rice Krispie Treat mixture at a time because you don’t want the mixture to cool too much while you are making Peeps. Once the mixture had cooled enough so we could handle it without burning our fingers we started filling the cookie cutters to form our Peeps. Pop the Peep out of the cookie-cutter and make another one. Easy Peasy.
As a final touch, use mini Chocolate Chip Cookies to make a little Easter Bunny face. We used two for the eyes and one for the nose.
