In a large, microwave-safe bowl add mini marshmallows, and butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and return to the microwave for an additional 20-30 seconds.
10 ounces mini marshmallows, 4 tablespoons butter
Add in rice cereal and mix. With gloved, or greased hands, firmly press the mixture into a parchment-lined jelly roll pan, or mini eggs molds depending on what you are using. You want the thickness to be around 1½", but there is some flexibility.
6 cups rice cereal
Using an egg cookie cutter, cut out egg shapes, and place them on a parchment-lined sheet.
Once all shapes are molded or cut-out it is time to dip them in candy melts.
Place candy melts in microwave-safe bowls. Melt one color at a time (in 30-ssecond intervals), stirring until smooth.
1½ cups Purple Wilton Candy Melts, 1½ cups Pink Wilton Candy Melts
Dip eggs into candy melts, and sprinkle on desired sprinkles before the chocolate sets. Then, place dipped on parchment paper to set. Repeat with remaining colors. Let eggs set for about 15 minutes before adding additional Wilton icing colors.
2 tablespoons Easter sprinkles, Decorative icing
Serve and enjoy! Place any leftovers in an airtight container.
