Rice Krispie Easter Treats

This recipe is quick and easy to make and perfect as a sweet Easter gift. You can make various shapes depending on the cookie cutters you use. I made one large duck from the entire recipe, but if you use smaller cookie cutters youll get a much greater yield. Have fun! I suggest packaging the hardened treats in cellophane baggies and tying them with decorative ribbon for a cute presentation. Note please: These need to chill for 1 1/2 hours.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Yields: 1 large treat

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 teaspoon  oil (for greasing the cookie cutters) or 1⁄4 teaspoon  cooking spray (for greasing the cookie cutters)
•  assorted  cookie cutter
• 100  g dark chocolate (I used 70%)
• 60  g  crispy brown rice cereal (unsweetened)
•  mini chocolate  candy (like M&M's for decoration if you like)

Directions

1. Lightly grease the insides of the cookie cutters using either oil or cooking spray. Place them on a paper-lined baking sheet.
2. Melt chocolate over a warm-water bath or in the microwave.
3. Stir in brown rice crispies.
4. Spread mixture into cookie cutters pressing down lightly. Decorate your treats with mini chocolate candies if desired.
5. Allow to harden for 1 1/2 hours. I didnt need to put them into the fridge, but depending onto the climate/weather you might need to do that.
6. Carefully remove the cookie cutters.
