Easy homemade marshmallow Easter eggs that are covered with chocolate and sprinkles. These Easter eggs are super easy to make. They have a creamy marshmallow mixture inside, covered with your favorite melted chocolate on the outside, and topped with lots of sprinkles.
In a small bowl safe for the microwave, put the butter in the microwave for about 15 seconds just to soften it.
In a large bowl, add the butter with the jar of marshmallow creme, vanilla extract, and a dash of salt which is about 2 shakes of the salt shaker. Mix with a spoon until creamy.
With an electric hand mixer, gradually add the powdered sugar to the marshmallow creme mixture. Mix until smooth.
Refrigerate the marshmallow creme mixture for at least 1 hour to firm it up.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop out the marshmallow creme mixture and make Easter egg shapes.
Place each Easter egg shape on the cookie sheet with the parchment paper.
Repeat with the rest of the marshmallow creme mixture.
Place the cookie sheet with the Easter egg shapes into the freezer for 1 hour. This will firm them up a bit.
After the hour, remove the cookie sheet from the freezer.
Melt the green mint baking chips first. Follow the instructions on the back of the label. Note: Only melt enough to do about 3 or 4 Easter eggs as the green mint baking chips can become hardened quickly.
Dip half of the Easter eggs (one at a time) into the melted green mint. Immediately sprinkle the Easter egg with sprinkles while the coating is still wet. Then place it on the cookie sheet.
Repeat all of the Easter eggs you want to do with the melted green mint.
Then melt the chocolate according to the instruction on the back of the package.
Repeat dipping each Easter egg in the melted chocolate, sprinkling some sprinkles on it, then lay it on the cookie sheet.
When the cookie sheet is filled, put it into the refrigerator for 1 hour until the mint and chocolate coatings are hardened.
Notes
These marshmallow creme Easter eggs can last in the refrigerator for about a week.
