Easter Egg Treats

Have you seen that commercial where the mom and kids are making Rice Krispy treats the shape of eggs with M&M's. I thought that would be fun to make, and to make a design with the M&M's in the eggs. I was planning on to do it for FHE the other night when we did the egg hunt and dyed eggs. But the night got away from us. Yesterday and today the kids didn't have school and so I thought that would be the perfect time to do it with them.

So we made the Rice Krispy Treats, so many helping hands we had lots of krispys flying every where. We got a large plastic eggs and molded five eggs. Once they came out of the egg and were laid on the plate, they kind of fell apart. I don't think that I added enough Rice Krispy, but Kyle enjoyed that they were so gooey. Once the eggs were formed the kids went to town putting M&M's in. But with each one they put in the less it looked like an egg. My idea wasn't turning out quiet right. But the kids were having fun doing it.

As the kids were getting done I wanted to get their picture taken with their eggs. But Karlee kept saying "Wait, I gotta add more." As you can see she was intent on getting all of them on. We waited and then she got in the picture.

Here they all are with their flatten Easter Egg treats.

They really enjoyed eating them (especially the M&M's).

I guess a better idea would have been to used frosting and more Rice Krispies and maybe they would of turn out like these.
