Ingredients

  • 1.5 tbsp butter + extra softened for coating pan
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • Green food coloring
  • Mini candy eggs

  • Melt white chocolate using a double broiler. Remove from heat, add 2 drops of food coloring, and stir well. Add additional drops if necessary until you have achieved your desired shade of green.
