Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies or other rice cereal
- 16-20 Peeps Variety of colors
- 6 tablespoons butter unsalted or salted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and spray a disposable aluminum pan or 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray or butter lightly.
- Place Peeps separately, in a variety of color combinations, into the bottom of the pan, then pour rice krispies over the top of the peeps, give it a shake to even the cereal out.
- Slice the butter into thin slices and lay evenly over the top of the rice krispies. Bake for 8 minutes.
- Spray a spatula or spoon with non-stick spray and gently stir to combine the Peeps with the rice krispies cereal, sprinkle a little vanilla extract over the top while you are stirring.
- Peeps rice krispie treats are extra soft and delicious warm out of the oven, but may be cooled and cut into squares while still warm. If thicker squares are desired, push the Rice Krispie Treats into one side of the pan.

Notes
- Variations
- vanilla
- Change these Easter Peep Cereal Treats for the different colors of Valentine's Day Heart Peeps, Christmas Tree Peeps, Chocolate Pudding Peeps, or even Party Cake Peeps for any 'ole time of the year!
- Make them Gluten-Free! While Rice Krispie Brand cereal treats are not certified as gluten-free, there are crispy cereals that are! So, change the cereal brand and use gluten-free vanilla because Peeps are gluten-free! - Voila!
- Add colored jimmies to the mixture for an even more vibrant and perfect Easter treat.
- Cut Easter Rice Krispie treats into desired shapes (cookie cutters work great for this), then insert a popsicle stick and maybe a drizzle of white or dark chocolate.
- Package them in a cello bag with a piece of wax paper between each treat and then top with leftover Peeps.
