Instructions
 

  • Prepare a work space by arranging the mini Rice Krispie squares on a serving dish or parchment paper. Put marshmallows into a microwave-safe bowl and add 2 teaspoons of water. Put shredded coconut into another mixing bowl and combine with a few drops of green food coloring. Stir well, adding food coloring as needed to reach your desired shade of green. Break pretzel sticks into 2 or 3 pieces and have mini eggs/jelly beans ready to use.
  • Heat the bowl of marshmallows in the microwave in 15 second increments until melted. Mix well between increments. Melting takes about 60 seconds total.
  • Dollop about 1 teaspoon of melted marshmallow onto each krispie square. Working quickly, sprinkle with coconut grass and/or broken pretzels. Arrange 2-4 mini eggs or jelly beans on top and press them down into the melted marshmallow so they stick.
  • Allow marshmallow to harden for a few minutes, then serve.
