Here’s an Eggs-cellent twist on my classic Gluten Free & Vegan Rice Cereal Treats… Use a variety of ingredients & shapes to come up with your own Allergy Friendly fun for Easter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 Cups Natural Rice Cereal or 8 Cups Popcorn
- 1 Bag (10 Ounces) of Dandies Vegan Vanilla Marshmallows (these are the BEST store bought natural marshmallows I’ve ever tasted)
- 4 Tablespoons Butter Alternative – I use Melt, but you can also use Coconut Oil (reserve about 1/2 Tablespoon to grease your molds)
- Plastic Easter Eggs (large or small), or other Molds / Shape Cutters.
Optional Ingredients & Decorative Ideas:
- Chocolate Chips
- Nuts or Seeds
- Nut or Seed Butter
- Frosting
- Candies
- Egg Decorating Kits
Instructions
- Grease the Plastic Eggs or Molds with Butter Alternative.
- In a medium bowl, measure out the Rice Cereal or Popcorn and set-aside while you prepare the Marshmallow Mixture (see directions for Microwave & Stovetop below).
- Once your Marshmallow Mixture is ready, pour over Rice Cereal or Popcorn & begin mixing gently with your spatula until all cereal is coated evenly. You can add any optional ingredients at this point – but be aware that chocolate chips or candies may melt while the temp is still hot.
- Press the coated cereal/popcorn into your prepared molds. You may want to grease your fingers or spatula to make this step less ‘sticky.’
- Let the mixture cool completely & ‘set-up’ before serving. This step takes about 10 minutes, but can be sped up by placing it in the fridge for 3-5 minutes.
- Decorate if desired & Enjoy!
Microwave Directions:
- In microwave safe bowl, melt Butter & Marshmallows for approximately 1 1/2 – 2 minutes on high. Stirring every 30 seconds with a spatula until Marshmallows are completely melted & appear ‘puffy’.
Stovetop Directions:
- In medium saucepan, melt Butter & Marshmallows over Medium Heat. Stir regularly with a spatula until Marshmallows are completely melted and appear ‘puffy’. Do not let the mixture burn.
Notes
Storage: Store in airtight container for 2-3 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
