You may be surprised to know I have special recipes I make every Easter. Ha! This is one of those recipes. Marco & Keira (my grand kiddos) are awesome helpers and they love to make these with me.
Ingredients
-
2 bags high quality white chocolate chips
-
2 bars high quality white chocolate (chopped)
-
6-8 individually wrapped truffles: white chocolate, milk & fudge swirl are great!
- 1 cup (more or less) of creamy or crunchy peanut butter
- 1 – 1 ½ cups marshmallows
-
1-2 cups of crispy rice breakfast cereal
- 1 cup chopped pecans (cashews & macadamia nuts are good, too)
-
1 cup chocolate candies, plain (pastel colored is best for Easter)
-
½ cup mini chocolate cream eggs (only usually available during Easter season)
- Mini chocolate chips to decorate the top
-
Mini chocolate candies for decorating
- Sprinkles for decorating the top work, as well!
Ingredients
Directions
How To Make It
- In a large glass bowl, combine chocolate chips, chopped white chocolate bars and melt. Stir to combine. (You can melt the chocolate in the microwave, in short intervals or in a glass bowl over simmering water. If you use the simmering water – double boiler method- be sure not to let any drops of water get into the bowl of chocolate. This will cause it to “seize” and become unworkable).
Add the individually wrapped white chocolate truffles and mini chocolate cream eggs, microwave for about 15 seconds, stir to combine.
- Next, add peanut butter to the white chocolate mixture & microwave for about 20 seconds. Stir to combine.
- Then add the marshmallows, microwave for 25-30 seconds. Stir to combine.
Now, the fun begins: Stir in the rice breakfast cereal, pecans & plain chocolate candies.
- Pour into a foil-lined (very lightly sprayed) 13 x 9 inch pan.
Sprinkle the top with mini chocolate chips & mini chocolate candies. Pat down lightly with the back of a spoon.
- Let “set” up or chill in frig for short time. Lift out of pan & remove foil. Cut into pieces.
- For Easter, we cut a few with spring and Easter cookie cutters, then cut the left overs into bite size squares! Enjoy!
