There's nothing quite like a family tradition to create cherished memories. And for many of us, those memories take place in the kitchen, especially at holiday times. Kids and moms alike treasure making something special together, and at Easter that usually means decorating eggs.

This year, why not start a new family custom that's fun, easy - and edible. With a simple twist on trusted Kellogg's Rice Krispies treats, moms and kids can create these decorative yummy bunnies. They're so simple and fun to make, they're sure to become a family holiday ritual.

Let the kids' measure out the ingredients beforehand. They can also try rolling the treats into balls to make the bunny heads and bodies, as well as decorating the finished bunny.

To display bunnies, arrange them on a tray and decorate with construction-paper baskets filled with mini-marshmallows. You can also pack the bunnies in clear gift bags tied with ribbon and deliver them to friends.
