Because we’ve already made every variation of Rice Krispies treats known to man, we are pushing the marshmallow frontier to cover popcorn this Easter season. Sticky-soft, chewy-sweet, and packed with colorful candies and sprinkles, these bars are angelically light in texture and devilishly sugar-fueled.
When it comes to choosing your candies, Cadbury eggs give you solid milk chocolate while Robin Eggs provide some malted crunch. If you’re allergic to peanuts, skip the M&Ms and use more of something else as a substitute. For a perfectly smooth drizzle, melt your white chocolate with some coconut oil so that it’s pourable while warm and sets up solid once cool.
