Rice Crispy Easter Eggs

Rice Crispy Easter Eggs are a great way to celebrate the holiday and teach children about the Christian faith and Easter. They can be made in advance and frozen, and can be stored in the freezer or refrigerator for up to a week. If you're looking for a healthier version, you can always make them using white chocolate or milk instead of milk. They'll be even better when you add a sprinkle on top.
