Realistic mini Easter baskets

These simple and beautiful Easter baskets are easy to make and are ready almost instantly. You can expect to spend less than half an hour on these, and they are perfectly proportioned to satisfy a delicate sweet tooth. This recipe serves 8-12 and is best if served the same day.

Be sure to wash your hands like a good chef! You'll be touching this food directly.

Step 1: Gather your supplies

You'll need:
1.5 tbs butter
2 cups mini marshmallows, or 20 regular marshmallows (approx 5 oz)
Green and yellow food dye
3 cups rice krispies
Decorative cupcake papers

I also cut strips of paper approx 5"x2"
and you'll need tape.

These are so cute! I like the rice krispie treat grass - so much better than the paper stuff. :D

Thanks Jessy! I thought they looked really lifelike, and they're so much fun.
