Peeps Rice Krispie Treats
These Peeps Rice Krispie Treats are soft, chewy, and fun to make. Melt each color separately, layer them side by side in the pan, and you get gorgeous pastel stripes. Done in 15 minutes with no baking required.
Ingredients
- 24 Peeps three 8-count packages, one of each color
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 4½ cups Rice Krispies cereal, divided
- 3 pinches salt one per bowl
Instructions
- Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Sort the Peeps by color, 8 per color. Divide the butter evenly (about 1⅓ tablespoons per color) and measure out 1½ cups of Rice Krispies for each color.
- Place one portion of butter and one color of Peeps in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Add a pinch of salt. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, usually 60 to 90 seconds total.
- Add 1½ cups of Rice Krispies and fold until every piece is coated.
- Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with the remaining two colors, using a separate bowl for each.
- Press each color into the prepared pan side by side, one at a time, using a greased spatula.
- Once cooled, lift out using the parchment and cut into bars with a greased knife.

Notes
Use fresh Peeps only; stale Peeps won't melt smoothly.
Press gently into the pan; too much pressure makes the treats hard.
Stir between every microwave burst to prevent scorching.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2–3 days.
To freeze, layer with sheets of parchment in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
