Ingredients
- 3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1 cup marshmallows
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions

- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and marshmallows together. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth and melted.
- Add Fruity Pebbles cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly to ensure all cereal is evenly coated.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes until it's comfortable to handle but still pliable.
- Grease your hands with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into egg-like forms, pressing firmly to compact the cereal and maintain the egg shape.
- Place the formed eggs on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds to prevent burning.
- Optional: Divide melted white chocolate and add different food coloring to create variety.
- Drizzle or dip the Fruity Pebble eggs in the melted white chocolate, creating decorative patterns.
- Allow eggs to set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes until chocolate hardens.
- Refrigerate for an additional 10 minutes to ensure firm setting.
- Serve and enjoy your colorful Fruity Pebble Easter Eggs!
Tips
- Keep your hands greased with butter or cooking spray to prevent the sticky mixture from clinging to your fingers.
- Work quickly when shaping eggs, as the mixture will start to set and become less pliable.
- For uniform eggs, use slightly damp hands or an egg-shaped mold for consistent sizing.
- Experiment with different food coloring in the white chocolate for a more vibrant, personalized look.
- If the mixture becomes too cool and hard to shape, briefly warm it in the microwave.
- Store eggs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra flair, consider adding sprinkles or edible glitter to your white chocolate coating.
