Homemade Easter choco
OK. These sound awesome and bad for you and awesome. If only I still ate marshmallows.... and um ... had money to buy the ingredients.
Recipe from the twisted minds at Bouchon Bakery. You know, Thomas Keller from The French Laundry fame. ...The real chef from the movie Rattatouille! I'd love to eat at The French Laundry some day. Les sigh.
Rice Krispies Easter Eggs
Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Easter Eggs
7oz Marshmallow
1.5oz Butter
3.5oz Rice Krispies
2.7oz Peanut Butter
2.7oz Spanish Peanuts, chopped In a heavy bottomed saucepot whisk together the butter, marshmallow and peanut butter over medium heat until they have melted together completely. In a mixing bowl fold the Rice Krispies and chopped peanuts into the peanut butter mixture.When cool enough to handle, shape the Rice Krispies mixture into small egg shapes.. Strawberry Rice Krispies Easter Eggs
7oz Marshmallow
1.5oz Butter
4.5oz Rice Krispies
0.4oz Dehydrated Strawberries, chopped (can substitute with freeze-dried)
1.25oz Strawberry Compound (this is a natural concentrate paste imported from France)
4 drops Red Food Color In a heavy bottomed saucepot whisk together the butter, marshmallow, strawberry compound and food coloring over medium heat until they have melted together completely. In a mixing bowl fold the Rice Krispies and dehydrated strawberries into the marshmallow mixture. When cool enough to handle, shape the Rice Krispies mixture into small egg shapes. Chocolate Rice Krispies Easter Eggs
7oz Marshmallow
1.5oz Butter
3.5oz Rice Krispies
2.7oz Crunchy Pearls (these are dark, milk and white chocolate covered cereal from Valrhona)
2.1oz 64% Cocoa Chocolate
0.5oz 100% Cocoa Chocolate
0.35oz Cocoa Powder Bring 2” of water to a boil in a saucepot and place a bowl on top to create a double boiler. In the bowl, melt the chocolates together and then stir in the butter, marshmallow and cocoa powder until the mixture has completely melted together. In a mixing bowl fold the Rice Krispies and crunchy pearls into the marshmallow mixture. When cool enough to handle, shape the Rice Krispies mixture into small egg shapes. Note: The recipe doesn't explain what to roll these in, but we think powdered Oreos, crushed pistachios, toasted coconut, and colored sugars will give you the same effect as the pictured eggs. You may need brush the eggs with a little extra marshmallow to get coatings to stick effectively, too.
