Create a Festive Easter Treat Display with Rice Krispies

On April 15, 2011, women came to TheMotherhood to hear about the exciting conclusion of the Rice Krispies Making Memories Challenge.

 

Four incredible teams of four bloggers across the country created their own Rice Krispies recipes and magical Easter displays, which the four “team leaders” discussed during the Talk via livestreaming video.  See their beautiful displays below!  You can view their innovative, delicious recipes on the Rice Krispies Circle in TheMotherhood.

“For this first Challenge, the four teams were asked to create a ‘Magical Easter Egg Hunt’ that would delight kids and be fun for the whole family,” explained Cooper Munroe, TheMotherhood, as she kicked off the video feed. “They were required to use Rice Krispies to create an original Rice Krispies Treats recipe, but the other elements were up to their imaginations!”

 

TEAM ASHEVILLE

 

Sommer Collier (A Spicy Perspective) spoke on behalf of the Asheville team, describing the fun she and her team had testing different Rice Krispies recipes before they finally found a winner – Lemonade Rice Krispies treats.  Her fellow team members were Amy Johnson (She Wears Many Hats), Robyn Stone (Add a Pinch) and Julie Mastbrook (Mommie Cooks).

 

“My son LOVED the Lemonade Rice Krispies® treats and chicks,” said Robyn Stone, Add a Pinch. “He said they tasted like summertime.”

 

“Rice Krispies are fun to play with, aren’t they?” said Amy Johnson, She Wears Many Hats, and Julie Mastbrook of Mommie Cooks agreed,“It was so fun to see everyone’s talent in action!”

TEAM PHILLY

 

Joey Fortman (Real Mom Media) spoke on behalf of her team in Philly, which also included bloggers Tara Bucci (Baby Momma Blog), Zareen Fidlon (Cooking with Z) and Sarah Peppel (Genesis Moments).

 

Joey noted that the Philly team used 25 boxes of Rice Krispies cereal to build their creations, including a huge Easter basket filled with chocolate bunnies!

 

“I loved the brainstorming and the crafting. I liked the taste testing the best though!!!” added teammate Zareen Fidlon, Cooking with Z.

 

Here are photos of the Philly team’s display, which they donated afterward to a local children’s charity!

 

 

 

TEAM PHOENIX

 

Jacquilyn Avery (Aly & Ash) took on the video hosting duties for her team in Phoenix.  Working with her to complete the Easter challenge were Ashley Whipple (Cute as a Fox Creations), Kristyn Merkley (Lil’ Luna) and Wendy O’Neal (Around My Family Table).

 

Aside from the glass, Jacquilyn said, everything in their Easter display was edible, right down to the Rice Krispies topiary.

 

“I did a whole write up on the topiary here: http://www.cuteasafox.com/2011/04/rice-krispie-treat-topiary.html,” noted teammate Ashley Whipple, Cute as a Fox Creations.

TEAM KANSAS CITY

 

Kristen Doyle (Dine and Dish) explained the Kansas City team’s creations and her goal, along with teammates Jenn Hethcoat (SuperJenn), Kelly Snyder (Kansas City Mamas) and Julie McKinley (My Kansas City Mommy), of creating a fun, kid-friendly recipe with their Kettle Krispies treat eggs.

 

“My kids got BIG eyes when I walked in with these eggs!” commented Jenn Hethcoat, SuperJenn.

 

And teammate Kelly Snyder, Kansas City Mamas, added, “Brainstorming and working with Kristen’s kids was awesome.”

 

“Thanks for having us!” Kristen said at the end of the chat. “Now, off to eat some more Rice Krispies Treats.”

“Just browsed through everyone’s creativity…I’m impressed!” said participant gottalovemom. “I guess the most memorable of all is the fact that you get to make memories with your kids!! That’s what Easter is all about!”
