RICE KRISPIE TREAT EASTER BASKETS | KATIE IN THE KITCHEN | Flippin' Katie

Editorial Summary

In this video, Katie demonstrates how to create edible Easter baskets using Rice Krispie treats. She begins by listing the necessary ingredients, which include mini marshmallows, puffed rice cereal, butter, milk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, green food coloring, and pastel peanut M&M's. The process starts with melting marshmallows and butter in a microwave safe bowl before mixing in the cereal. Katie explains that she uses buttered hands to press the mixture into a greased muffin pan, later using wax paper to flatten the treats. After chilling the bases in the fridge for ten minutes, she prepares a frosting by combining softened butter, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla. She adds green food coloring to the frosting to simulate Easter grass. For the final decoration, she uses pastel peanut M&M's to represent small eggs inside the baskets. Katie concludes by noting that while she accidentally made more frosting than required due to a recipe miscalculation, the final products were successful and visually similar to examples she had seen online. She suggests these treats are ideal for parties or as gifts.
