These ooey-gooey marshmallow Cadbury Egg Rice Krispies are packed with Cadbury’s rich, creamy mini milk chocolate eggs wrapped in crisp, colorful candy shells. Soft, chewy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, these no-bake treats are perfect for Easter and very quick to make.
What I love about these is how fast and easy they are to make. You can prepare them the same day or a few days ahead. Make them larger for generous servings or smaller for party trays and Easter baskets — they’re pliable enough to shape into cute Easter eggs.
Only 4 Ingredients Needed
- Mini marshmallows (1 10 oz bag)
- Unsalted butter (3 tbsp)
- Rice Krispies cereal (5 cups)
- Cadbury Mini Eggs (about 10 oz)
How to Make Microwave Easter Rice Krispies
The fastest way to make the gooiest Rice Krispie treats is in the microwave. Use a very large microwave‑safe bowl because the marshmallows will puff up as they melt. If you prefer, the stove-top method works just as well—melt butter and marshmallows in a saucepan over low heat, then stir in the cereal and Cadbury eggs. Both methods are provided below so you can use whichever you prefer.
Microwave Method
- Line an 8×8, 9×9, or 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper or foil and lightly grease. (Use an 8×8 or 9×9 for thicker squares; a 9×13 pan yields thinner bars.)
- Place the mini marshmallows and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in short bursts, stirring between intervals, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
- Gently fold in the Cadbury Mini Eggs.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Lightly grease your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup and press the mixture down evenly (or use a sheet of wax paper to press without sticking).
- Allow the treats to set for about 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
Stove-top Method
- Line an 8×8, 9×9, or 9×13 dish with parchment paper or foil and lightly grease.
- Melt the butter and marshmallows in a large saucepan over low heat until smooth and creamy.
- Remove from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies until fully coated.
- Fold in the Cadbury Mini Eggs.
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan using greased hands, a greased measuring cup, or a sheet of wax paper to avoid sticking.
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing into squares.
Tips for the Easter Rice Krispies
- Use fresh marshmallows — older marshmallows can be dry and won’t melt as smoothly.
- Choose pan size according to how thick you want the bars to be: 8×8 or 9×9 for thicker squares, 9×13 for thinner bars.
- Don’t overload with extra cereal. Less cereal keeps the treats soft and chewy.
- Press the mixture gently; pressing too hard makes the bars dense and stiff.
- Adding extra marshmallows creates pockets of gooey softness throughout the treats.
- Let the treats cool before cutting. Lightly spray your knife with non-stick spray and wipe it before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Store in a tightly sealed container for 2–3 days for best texture.
- For longer storage, freeze in an airtight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag for up to 2 months.
Easter Rice Krispies made with mini Cadbury Eggs are a delightful, no-bake treat for holiday parties, baskets, or anytime you want a quick, nostalgic sweet. Enjoy!
