HELLLLO!
Valentine’s is already over!! Did you have a good Valentine’s Day?? I sure did!! Mom loved the card I gave her, and I loved all the yummy food my mom made. π
Do you know that Easter is coming up?? Usually it’s in April, but this year it’s in March, which means it’s coming up soon. Because of that, we decided to make some treats sooner this year. We made these Rice Krispies Easter Cups. They’re kind of like the Easter Basket Cookie Cups we made last year but they’re a Rice Krispies version. They were more delicious than the cookie version (although those are really good too!!) The best part was the Cadbury Eggs on top. They are the best! You don’t have to use this candy for yours but they were really yummy. You could also use Robin Eggs or even Easter M&Ms. π

- Pipe your frosting into your cookie cups and top with Easter egg candies. ENJOY!
The marshmallows puffed up a lot!
Add a dollop of frosting in the middle first and then pipe around it. π
Add your candies!

What size muffin pan did you use and how many did it make?
I used a mini muffin pan and it made about 30 cups. π
how do you store so they are still soft to eat?
