How 'Bout Them Eggs?!

Thursday, April 9, 2009

Dye eggs? Nope, not this year. Instead I bought into the great marketing effort put out by Rice Krispies. Did anyone see the commercial of the mom making "Rice Krispy Treat Eggs" with her kids? Well, I did and yes, we decided to do this. It was really fun, messy and most importantly yummy. We made the treats, rolled them into krispy-shaped eggs and dipped them in fun Easter sprinkles. Oh boy! Reid LOVES to help me cook and since this is a rare occurance, he was super excited. We had just gotten back from a neighborhood walk (it was in the 90's outside today) so excuse my gorgeous looks.

The butter is melted, marshmellows are next

Reid wanted to eat marshmellows the entire time
Gotta put on the bunny ears to make this really thematic, right? ;-)
Our photographer, Daddy, made a cameo
Reid is such a helper!
Roll, dip into sprinkles, put on the pan...not sure who Mommy is looking at
Mmm...tastey!
Voila! Aren't they just GORGEOUS. hahaha, ;-)

Wish I'd seen the commercial! This looks like so much fun, and Jaime, I am so proud of you for letting Reid in the kitchen. Looks like he knows his way around a wooden spoon! Enjoy your treats and your Easter
