I start by coating a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray—lining it with two overlapping parchment strips, leaving an overhang, sets me up. I spray the parchment too—my prep is done. It’s quick, and I’m pumped to begin.

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, I mix 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows and 1 Tbsp. salted butter—microwave for 1 minute until puffed and melted, my gooey moment. I stir until smooth, tint with food coloring, and add 1 ½ cups crispy rice cereal—mixing it well and pressing into the pan is my fun step. I repeat this three times with different colors—layering each batch builds my rainbow loaf.

Once all layers are in, I press it down tight—refrigerate for 20 minutes until firm, my patience pays off. I lift it out with the parchment, peel it off, and slice crosswise into ¾- to 1-inch pieces—cutting egg shapes with a 3- to 4-inch cutter makes each slice a treat that makes me smile. It’s ready to enjoy—simple steps, big reward.

This quick process fills me with pride every time. Each egg is a festive bite I love sharing. Easter Egg Cereal Treats are a snap to make!
