2. Add KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES cereal. Stir until well coated.
3. Using 1/4-cup measuring cup coated with cooking spray divide warm cereal mixture into portions. Using buttered hands shape each portion into 2 1/2- x 1 1/2-inch egg shapes. (Or, coat insides of plastic snap-apart Easter eggs with cooking spray. Press cereal mixture into eggs. Remove cereal mixture from plastic eggs.) Cool.
4. In small saucepan combine chocolate morsels and shortening. Cook over low heat until melted, stirring constantly. Dip bottoms of cereal eggs into chocolate. Decorate with sprinkles. Place on wax-paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Individually wrap in plastic wrap. Best if served the same day.
MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS:
In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Continue with recipe as directed above. Microwave cooking times may vary.
Note
For best results, use fresh marshmallows.
1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow crème can be substituted for marshmallows.
Diet, reduced calorie or tub margarine is not recommended.

1. I decided to make the Easter Rice Krispie Eggs this year instead of our usual sugar cookies. I have no children at home anymore but two grandchildren who live far away and a 5 week old grandson whom I hope to share these yummy eggs with someday! My suggestion, after mixing all the ingredients together, is putting on a pair of clean rubber gloves, spray one had with Pam, and rub hands together. When you shape the eggs, they will not stick. But this does not last for the entire batch for I had to wash my hands THREE times and spray them again and each time it worked perfectly! I am letting them sit and cool and will soon dip each egg "point" into chocolate and then into the new spring colored sprinkles that I bought today. I will also be sharing them with Lexi and Tyler, two special little neighbors who love "Grandma Char's" treats!

2. I would like to recommend using Make'n Mold candy wafers for the chocolate portion of the Easter Egg Dippers project. Candy wafers are easier to melt/dip than chocolate chips, especially for kids. They taste great and come in various colors/flavors -- you could use yellow, pink, or purple for Easter. You could also drizzle different colors. Get them from craft/party stores or www.makenmold.com

4. My kids and I love to make these. We use white chocolate and add a touch of pastel food coloring for Easter. We sometimes dip them in candy sprinkles for an extra special treat.

5. We made the egg dippers using chocolate wafers and they were a hit. We added some green food coloring to some coconut to make some "grass" in which we displayed the eggs. Just make sure you wait untilt he chocolate is hardened if you don't want the coconut to stick.
