This can be made on top of the stove or in the microwave using a large heat-proof bowl --- this recipe is pretty much fool-proof so don't worry about exact measurements, the frosting drizzle is only optional, I most always double the recipe and spread into a 13 x 9-inch pan, throw in some salted chopped peanuts also! :)

Move over creme eggs, there's a new Easter treat that is sure to become as iconic as your creamy center. A crisp peanut butter Rice Krispies® treat surrounds a surprising candy 'yolk' center, while the sweetness is offset with an eggshell made up of dark chocolate.

Steps:
- Beat confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract, pinch salt, and yellow food coloring together in a bowl until smooth, adding food coloring as necessary until your desired "yolk" color is reached. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes.
- Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a pot over medium-high heat until butter turns golden and has a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, add marshmallows and peanut butter, and cook and stir until marshmallows and peanut butter are melted and mixture is well-combined. Remove from heat.
- Stir rice cereal and kosher salt into marshmallow mixture until cereal treat mixture is well-combined. Cool to room temperature.
- Roll "yolk" mixture into gumball-size balls, about 1/2 teaspoon "yolk" mixture per ball. Scoop about 1/3 cup cereal treat mixture into your hand and form it into a 2-inch round; press an indentation into the center with your finger and place 1 "yolk" in the indentation. Wrap the cereal treat around the "yolk" and squeeze firmly to form an egg shape. Repeat with remaining cereal treat mixture and "yolks." Set completed "eggs" on a plate and refrigerate until firmed, at least 15 minutes.
- Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Use 2 forks to dip each cereal "egg" into chocolate to coat completely. Place finished eggs on a plate and refrigerate until chocolate sets, at least 15 minutes.

PEANUT BUTTER AND BUTTERSCOTCH RICE KRISPIES SQUARES
Another recipe from the 1980 version of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania that was given to me by my Nana when I became an adult. This recipe was submitted to the cookbook by Florence Miller who is my Nana's sister and always called 'Aunt Puss' by myself. I look the most like her than of any of the other Muir family members I have met.

Steps:
- Butter a 9- bX 13-inch pan and butter the pot and utensils you will be using to melt the marshmallows. Add 3 tablespoons of butter and the marshmallows in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until melted. When completely melted and smooth, stir in the vanilla. Turn off heat and stir in cereal until completely coated; the mixture will be sticky. Pour into buttered pan. Coat your hands with butter and press mixture into the pan firmly. Place in the refrigerator to chill. In another saucepan, place caramels and water over low heat, stirring often as caramels melt until smooth. Add 1 cup of the peanut butter to the caramel and stir until completely mixed. Pour onto the chilled Rice Krispies mixture and spread to the edges. Place pan back in the refrigerator. Over low heat, melt the chocolate in a saucepan, stirring frequently and being careful not to scorch the chocolate. When melted, add in the remaining 1/2 cup of peanut butter, stirring until smooth. Pour chocolate mixture over caramel layer, spreading to the edges in an even layer. Place dessert in the refrigerator and allow to set up for approximately 1 hour or until chocolate is firm to the touch. Cut into squares or rectangles once it is firm. Bars are easiest to cut when cold but are best eaten at room temperature or only slightly chilled.

- In a large sauce pan over medium heat, melt the sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter until smooth and evenly combined. Remove from heat. Quickly add the salt and cereal and stir to combine thoroughly. Add the chocolate chips and stir again. Wait about 1 min and add the chopped candy, quickly folding the mixture together so as to not smash up the candy. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop rounded tablespoons onto the sheet. Let cool (or you can eat them while they are warm and gooey- try and resist them!) and enjoy! I got about 30 Rice Krispy "balls" out of this recipe- it just depends what size you make them.

- 2. Line cookie sheets with wax paper.

- 4. Remove chocolate from heat and start dipping balls in chocolate. Make sure entire ball is coated. Spoon on to wax paper sheets. You may dprinkle with colored jimmie. Roll in nuts etc. if desired. let them set on counter or refrigerate. After they set up. I store mine in a cookie tin in refrigerator. That's it!! Enjoy!!!

- Add-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits, to customize the recipe to your liking.
