Recently I was given the opportunity to participate in a challenge hosted by The Motherhood and Kellogg’s™ Rice Krispies™ to work with a team of Kansas City bloggers to come up with a unique Rice Krispies™ recipe and theme for the holidays.

Not only do I get to work with these Kansas-City-Is-The-Best Bloggers, but we are in competition with three other blogger teams from across the United States for the best Rice Krispies™ Easter Recipe. (More on that in a minute – cause you are all going to help me because I want to WIN.)

So my AMAZING team is…Kristen from Dine & Dish, Jenn from Super Jenn, and Julie from My Kansas City Mommy.

Our first challenge was Easter.

And while we could have reinvented the Easter Egg, we just embraced it. Cause really – it is all about the egg and what is inside of the egg.

And my friends, what is inside of the egg is SO important.

Because it is a Kettle Korn Rice Krispies™ treat.

(Take a minute – I know that I needed one – when Kristen told me what amazing thing she had made.)

For all you popcorn-salty-sweet-crunchy-gonna-eat-it-all-get-your-own-blank-bag people of the world, this treat is for you.

And it is a blast to make with the kiddos because all of the “hard” work can be done in advance and the kiddos can have fun “stuffing” the eggs and coloring the “eggs” to their little heart’s desires.

And with these eggs, you won’t have to worry about eating egg salad sandwiches for the next few weeks. I’m guessing they will ALL be gone right after lunch.

And if you are feeling REALLY creative – they make an adorable place card holder for the Easter table – just sayin’.

6 tablespoons butter

    I know some of the other teams competing…but I had no idea that we had a team in KC!! So glad we have a team competing. Woohoo! These look so good and they are so simple, love it. My favorite Easter candy is the Dove Dark Chocolate Easter Bunnies. I can’t resist them!

    Russell Stovers for ANY holiday!! Even NOT a holiday. But for Easter, the chocolate covered marshmallow eggs.
    Hey, we just made Rice Krispie treats yesterday. And, ummm, they are gone! LOL

  24. su says

    It’s hard to choose just one favorite Easter candy. But, if I have to choose just one it would be Cadbury Mini Eggs; oh, and Reese’s peanut butter cups; yeah, and anything dark chocolate(I’ll stop now)!

  44. kristin barrett says

    Reeses peanut butter eggs are fabulous just the right ratio of peanut butter to chocolate

  45. Erin says

    Cadbury mini eggs — that chocolate is sooooo good, especially since I give up chocolate for Lent most years so it tastes extra extra good!

  48. stacy says

    Reese’s Eggs are by FAR and AWAY the BEST Easter candy ever made!! Although made of the same ingredients, no other Reese’s item compares to the Reese’s Egg!

  51. Pix says

    I loved jelly beans as a kid, but now I’m crazy about chocolate and peanut butter eggs.

  64. stephanie miller says

    Favorite Easter candy ~ Peeps after they have been opened and they are a little crunchy!

  93. Kristin Barrett says

    I love those cadbury mini chocolate eggs, the ones that have a hard shell and are in pastel colors.

  97. Amanda says

    I love those fat white speckled malted milk eggs by Brachs. They’re almost impossible to find at some places. Oh man, when I find a bag, they’re usually gone within a few days. Yum!

  103. Bugmagnt says

    Reese’s eggs are the best… although I can’t resist a great Peep (Bunnies perferred over the chicks!

  106. lorynn says

    My favorite Easter candy has got to be Yellow Peeps. I love biting their heads off. lol

  114. Tracy says

    As a kid, I always looked forward to Easter for the speckled malted milk eggs because my favorite thing to do, besides eat them, was to paint my lips with the pastel candy color of the egg. I’d like the egg and color my lips light blue. It was a fun kid thing to do!!

  118. Valerie R. says

    As a child my favorite Easter candy was Fannie May Dark Chocolate marshmallow eggs that my Grandpa brought us from Chicago every year. Then he would hide whole boxes of the candy around the house instead of hiding Easter eggs. 🙂 Amazingly, he always managed to hide one box where we couldn’t find it.

  124. Wendy B says

    While I like lots of Easter candy, I have a special memories with jelly beans. My grandfather was the ornery one in the family. Every Easter his sister would make an Easter Bunny cake and every year my grandfather would move black jelly beans to the back of the bunny. I get jelly beans every year as a tribute to Grandpa.

  143. Cindy T. says

    My favorite Easter candy is Jelly Belly’s. My husband’s fav are the Reese’s peanut butter eggs.

  157. Barb says

    Just Tweeted 🙂 Haven’t done that for quite a while! Was surprised I even remembered the password. LOL

  166. Kelly D says

    My favorite easter treat is cadbury eggs, both the little chocolate filled ones and the Creme filled eggs.

  178. Brandy Asleson Cockrell says

    I love the Reese Pieces in a carrot bag. I always look forward to them!

    Favorite Easter candy is a tie between Reese’s peanut butter eggs and Peeps. Oh, and the Cadbury eggs are pretty delicious, too 🙂

    My favorite Easter candy now is anything with dark chocolate, and coconut added to it just makes it that much better!

  239. Leah Walker says

    Sweetarts makes the shapes for Easter (bunny, chicken, duck, etc.) and I really like those. They are super yummy! Really though I’m not prejudiced when it comes to candy. I give them all a fair shot.

    My favorite Easter candy was a large coconut cream egg the Easter Bunny got from the local Gertrude Hawk Candy store. I haven’t thought about that in years but I might have to make a trip to the store this year and get one. Thanks!

  324. Molly says

    I LOOOOOVE Russel Stover’s Coconut Nests. They’re the same delicious as the coconut clusters and a pretty darn good price. Melt in your mouth with that sweetness of coconut…mmmm.

  355. yvette says

    Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs–who doesn’t like eggs for breakfast! I’m just sayin’!

  356. Dawn D. says
