An easy and fun (not to mention delicious) Easter Basket made from Rice Krispies Treats. The perfect activity with kids.
Can I first and foremost say that I can’t believe Easter is coming up so quick? I had no idea it was in March. I thought it was going to be in April.
Obviously I was wrong.
So let’s get to our Easter celebrations. I created these fun Easter Baskets for the Kellogg’s Family Rewards site. And I am so glad I did because my kids and I had so much fun making them. They are easy. They are fun. And they are totally kid friendly.
Here’s a photo tutorial for how to make them.
I hope you will enjoy them as much as we did. My favorite way to get my kids excited about holidays is by doing a food craft. This one is so simple it is perfect for all ages and stages. Feel free to change up the candies to fit your preference, or let your kids have their pick.
Rice Krispies Treats Easter Basket
Ingredients
- 16 count package Rice Krispies Treats® Original bars
- 12 ounce sugared almonds bag of pastel-colored
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Open two packages of Rice Krispies Treats® Original bars.
- Take the first Rice Krispies Treats® Original bar, round the corners on one side by cutting off the corners and then press it into a rounded shape.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips by heating for 20–30 seconds, stirring, then heating again for 20–30 seconds and stirring. Repeat until melted. (This shouldn’t take more than 60–90 seconds total.)
- Using a butter knife or popsicle stick, spread some of the melted chocolate over the top of the first Rice Krispies Treats® Original bar.
- Place almonds into the chocolate to “fill” your basket. I used 3–5 almonds per basket. You may need to press them into the Rice Krispies Treats® Original bar to get them to stand up. Use extra chocolate as needed.

- Take the two pieces and press the ends together to form one long piece. This will be your basket handle.
- Put some chocolate on either end, bend the basket handle to form a half circle and attach to basket base.
- Optional: Add whatever other candies, chocolates or goodies you wish to decorate your basket!
