Cut them out with Cookie Cutters
One tip for cutting out these out is to use your hands to really press down on the rice krispie treats before cutting them out with cookie cutters! This will help keep the treats together after taking them out of the cookie cutter. Because these treats are so soft they may want to fall apart, but just push them back together. After you add some chocolate decoration to them they won’t be so fragile.
Coat them in Chocolate!
I used candy melts to decorate these. They are available in all sorts of colors and flavors! I find them easier to use than regular white chocolate. You’ll want to melt them down in small mounds because the chocolate hardens quickly. Spoon the chocolate into a little sandwich bag or a piping bag and snip a tiny hole in the corner. This actually makes it much easier and neater to decorate than using a knife. It also allows you to drizzle the chocolate if you want.Add your Decorations to your Rice Krispie Treats!
After getting your chocolate layer on you’ll want to quickly add any additional decorations like sprinkles, dyed shredded coconut etc. before your chocolate coating hardens. Then you’ll have yourself a perfectly adorable Easter treat! Enjoy! AlyssaDon't forget to pin this recipe for later! You can also follow us on Pinterest here!
