They say you are what you eat and these are super cute! I love how easy these Bunny Butt Rice Krispie Treats are to make. It’s a twist on the original Rice Krispies treat! They’re fun for spring, the kid can help you make them and they work as an Easter dessert as well. Rice Krispies cereal is always a versatile option and you can’t go wrong making this treat!

Why We Love This Easter Dessert

Rice Krispies Treat desserts are truly nostalgic. They’re so versatile and can be transformed into any fun shape – like a bunny butt! Make these treats ahead of time and they can be part of a formal Easter dessert table. Yet, they’re also easy enough that you can whip them together as a fun after-school spring snack. The kids love them!

Need even more Easter dessert inspiration? My Easter Bunny Cookie Bars are another great bunny design treat. I also love my Easter Trifle dessert that has layers of cake, pudding and whipped topping. All of these are so much fun for Easter.

How To Keep Your Bunny Butt Rice Krispies Treat Fresh

Transfer your treats to an airtight food storage container. If you have to layer the Rice Krispie treats, add a layer of wax paper in between. For the best freshness, enjoy these treat within 3-4 days of making them. They’ll stay soft and tender during that time period. I do not recommend freezing them.

Recipe Variations

If you want to mix up the colors, use different candy melts. Pink, purple, teal, and yellow are all great colors for spring! It would be so much fun to have several colors to compliment each other. Another fun way to mix up the recipe is to make a flavored Rice Krispies base. Make a Strawberry Rice Krispies base and add white marshmallows with hot pink candy melts. There are so many possibilities!

Bunny Butt Rice Krispies Treat Ingredients:

• Rice Krispies Cereal: The original version
• Mini Marshmallows
• Butter: Salted or Unsalted Works
• Blue Candy Melts: I use the Wilton Blue Candy Melts
• Giant Marshmallows
• Nonstick Cooking Spray

Tools Needed:

• 9×13-inch Baking Pan
• Circle Cookie Cutter
• Decorating Pastry Bag
• Potato Masher

How To Make Bunny Butt Rice Krispie Treats

Grease a small 9×13” pan with butter or a nonstick cooking spray. In a large microwave safe bowl, heat the marshmallows with 3 tablespoons of butter and heat for 1-2 minutes until the marshmallows get puffy.

Now mix in six cups of Rice Krispies cereal with the marshmallows.

Scoop the mixture into your pan, pressing down firmly with a potato masher and freeze for 15 minutes before using both the circle cookie cutter and scalloped circle cookie cutter to cut out your shapes.

In the meantime, heat the candy melts on 50% power for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds and pour into a decorating bag.

Cut the marshmallows in half and use the blue candy melt bag to stick the small Rice Krispie tail on center and two marshmallow feet to the bottom.

Use the blue melted candy melt bag to draw the foot prints on the marshmallows and let harden. You want to gently squeeze as you use your hand to guide the design you’re making on the marshmallow.
