Easter Egg Cake Batter Rice Crispy Treats

The Story:

Long title, sorry all!  I just didn’t know how to get all the goodness into the title without making it so long.

Decorating easter eggs can get boring for teenagers, frustrating to perfectionists, or overwhelming to busy mothers.  So try these easter eggs this year. Once you make them, you can even decorate them with colored frostings and make zig-zags, stripes or dots.
