Spring Marshmallow Bunny Ears Tutorial

Spring Marshmallow Bunny Ears Tutorial

How to make DIY Spring Marshmallow Bunny Ears Tutorial!
These colorful Rabbit Ears are so cute and easy. If you have a bag of marshmallows, sprinkles, and kitchen scissors that you are all set for creating these beauties. These are a wonderful idea for using as cupcake toppers either for Easter or any Spring occasion that calls for desserts.

These Marshmallow Rabbit Ears are an adorable and unique way to decorate with food crafts at this Easter's Dinner. The kids and special guests will get a kick out of these Marshmallow Bunny Ears since it's out of the ordinary and it also reminds me of Peeps- yet they are homemade DIY style:)
I actually made the colorful sugar sprinkles myself, yet you can purchase colorful sugar sprinkles to create the same effect.....or DIY it like me.

Rainbow Trix Krispie Treats


Rainbow Trix Krispie Treats

How to make Over the Rainbow Trix Krispie Treats for a party, event, birthday, or St. Patrick's Day.
These treats are similar in texture as the famous beloved rice krispie treats only they are made from Rainbow color Trix cereal.....fun right! My kids loved this project and they loved eating them too when we were done making them together as a family.

We already had everything we need right there in the house. This recipe project was fast, quick, easy, and inexpensive to make because we already had the ingredients on hand ready to go.
Basically this is a 3 ingredient project! Ready to make some treats?

http://sweethaute.blogspot.com/2015/03/rainbow-trix-krispie-treats.html


Supplies:

6 Cups Rainbow Trix Cereal
  -mini
  -large
3 Tablespoon Butter
Large Bowl
Spatula
Wax Paper/ Parchment Paper
Non-stick Cooking Spray

Serving Size: 16

Step 1:

Spray pan/ baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2:

Warm up marshmallows (the whole bag) or jar in a bowl with 3 Tablespoons butter in microwave. Warm for 45 seconds. Stir.

Step 3:

Warm in microwave for 45 more seconds. Stir until fluffy and smooth.

Step 4:

Add in 6 Cups of Rainbow Trix cereal. Combine by folding.

Step 5:

Quickly pour mixture into flat baking pan and even it out across equally. Let cool for marshmallow to set, cut and serve. Parchment paper or wax paper is good for this step.

DONE.
Individually wrap with a piece of wax/parchment paper in between if you are using for an event or bringing them to school etc!
 

Tip: Cut up into portions and separate with wax/parchment paper and store in an air tight container. In humid climates you may need to place in fridge to set before cutting treats.

This is a St. Patrick's Day Layered Lucky Pudding project that you can do with your kids to make dessert, celebrating St. Patrick's Day. This layered pudding is also a great food idea for any event or birthday party that may use rainbow as the theme or green in the color combination.
We really liked this DIY project because it was fun, quick and easy....but best of all it was virtually free {budget friendly} because we had everything we need already in the cabinet and fridge!
