2 boxes 2 boxes of Rice Krispies cereal
6 boxes Peeps of choice - Each box contains 8 Peeps and should get 1 1/2 cups of Rice Krispies For this recipe I used the 8 pieces 3 oz. package Cotton Candy, Party Cake, Fruit Punch, Watermelon, Donuts, Hot Tamales
1 cube butter 1/4 tbsp per package of peeps
4 cans Food coloring of choice I like red, blue, green, and yellow

Grease your pan of choice with butter - I prefer a 9” x 13'“ Don’t skip this step, it helps when the time comes to remove your treats and adds a ton to the flavor.
Remove the eyes from each Peep to avoid getting a black bleed
Add them to a microwave-safe bowl with 1 tbsp of butter and microwave on high for 1 minute
With a spoon (careful it’s hot) mix the Peeps and butter until you achieve a smooth consistency - if you want a deeper color feel free to add a drop of food coloring now
Quickly add 1 1/2 cups of Rice Krispies to Peeps and butter mixture and combine.
When blended, add to an already greased pan and/or muffin tin.
I like to do both. For the muffin tin, keep the colors separate. But….
Could you be sure to grease your pans, hands, and spatulas? Peeps Rice Krispie Treats are sticky! This will help make the work quick and easy. Trust me! Want a more vibrant color? Don’t be afraid to add a drop or two of food coloring. Also, consider mixing blue and red to make purple! It’s Easter. We’re starting with Peeps; just have fun.

Don’t overheat the Peeps and butter mixture. Microwave them on low and mix until smooth and gently—if you overheat them, the mixture will become too sticky and unmanageable.
