Easter Rice Krispie Treat Gift Box
Soft, gooey homemade Rice Krispie treats shaped into bunnies and eggs, dipped in pastel chocolate and packed into the cutest Easter gift boxes—sweet, colorful, and perfect for spring sharing!
6 cups Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies Cereal
10 oz (1 bag) Kraft® Jet-Puffed Mini Marshmallows
4 tbsp Land O Lakes® Unsalted Butter
1/2 tsp McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract (optional but recommended)
1/2 tsp Morton® Salt
1 cup Wilton® Pink Candy Melts
1 cup Wilton® White Candy Melts
1 package Peeps® Pink Bunny Marshmallows
1 cup Rold Gold® Pretzel Twists or Squares
Pastel decorating icing (like Betty Crocker® Decorating Icing)
Green paper grass for gift boxes (optional for presentation)
Instructions
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper. Lightly butter bunny and egg-shaped cookie cutters if using for shaping.
In a large pot over low heat, melt butter completely. Add mini marshmallows and stir continuously with a wooden spoon until fully melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla and salt.
Remove from heat and immediately fold in Rice Krispies cereal. Stir gently but quickly until all cereal is evenly coated in the marshmallow mixture. Work fast before it firms up.
To shape:
For classic bars, press mixture evenly into the prepared pan using a buttered spatula or wax paper.
For bunny and egg shapes, let mixture cool slightly (1–2 minutes so it’s warm but safe to handle). Lightly butter your hands and firmly press handfuls of mixture into greased bunny or egg cookie cutters placed on parchment paper. Press down well so shapes hold together. Carefully lift the cutter straight up to release the shape. If edges look uneven, gently press and smooth them with your fingers.
Let shapes cool completely at room temperature (about 30 minutes).
Melt pink and white candy melts separately according to package directions (microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth).
For dipped bunnies:
Dip the bottom half of a bunny-shaped treat into melted pink chocolate. Let excess drip off, then place on parchment paper to set.
For decorated eggs:
Dip fully or halfway in white chocolate. While still wet, pipe pastel icing in zigzags across the top.
For pretzel treats:
Dip pretzels into white chocolate and place on parchment. Add a small Peeps bunny or decorate with extra melted chocolate before it sets.
Allow all treats to fully harden at room temperature (about 30–45 minutes). For faster setting, refrigerate 10–15 minutes.
To assemble gift boxes:
Line rectangular white gift boxes with green paper grass. Arrange one pink bunny treat, one decorated egg treat, and one chocolate-covered pretzel in each box. Fill gaps with mini marshmallows and Peeps for a festive Easter look.
Storage
Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days. If packaging in gift boxes, wrap each treat individually in plastic wrap to keep them soft. Do not refrigerate long-term as this can make them hard. For longer storage, freeze individually wrapped treats up to 6 weeks and thaw at room temperature before serving.

Irresistible Peach Cobbler Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup diced fresh peaches (about 1 medium peach, peeled and chopped)
For the Topping:
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
1- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
3- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4- Stir in the rolled oats and gently fold in the diced peaches. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky—that’s okay!
5- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle a little of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over each cookie.
6- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. The cookies will look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!

My grandma used to prepare these in large quantities for the community, and now I'm continuing the tradition!
Strawberry Citrus Iced Tea
Ingredients:
4 cups water
4 black tea bags
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 orange, sliced into rounds
1 lemon, sliced into rounds
¼ cup honey or sugar (optional, or to taste)
Ice cubes (as needed, for serving)
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
Steep the Tea:
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and add the tea bags. Let steep for 5–7 minutes, depending on your preferred tea strength. A longer steep time will create a bolder flavor.
Prepare the Fruit:
While the tea is steeping, wash the strawberries, orange, and lemon. Hull and slice the strawberries, then slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds.
Sweeten the Tea (Optional):
Remove the tea bags from the saucepan. Stir in honey or sugar while the tea is still warm, allowing it to dissolve completely. Let the sweetened tea cool to room temperature.
Combine in a Pitcher:
In a large pitcher, mix the cooled tea with the sliced strawberries, orange, and lemon.
Refrigerate to Infuse:
Cover and refrigerate the pitcher for at least 1 hour. This allows the fruits to infuse the tea, deepening the flavor. For stronger fruitiness, chill for up to a few hours.
Serve:
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over the top.
Garnish:
Add fresh mint leaves to each glass for a burst of aroma and a beautiful presentation.

I whipped up this fruit salad for our get-together today and it was a huge hit. It’s basically a dessert masquerading as a side dish, but I’m not complaining.
2 cups strawberries, sliced
2 cups chopped green apples
1 cup grapes, halved
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup sliced bananas
8 oz package of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Caramel sauce for drizzling
I started by beating the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla until it was really smooth and fluffy. Then I just tossed in all the chopped fruit—the tart green apples and strawberries go so well with the creamy base. Right before I put it out, I drizzled a generous amount of caramel sauce over the top. It’s so much better than just a plain bowl of fruit.
The bowl was empty before I even sat down to eat.
