Description
Delicious and festive Easter treats that resemble little nests, perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 3 drops green food coloring
- 1 cup coconut
- Easter candies (Cadbury Mini Eggs, Jelly Beans, or similar)
Instructions
- In a large nonstick pan over medium low heat, add the butter and melt completely. Add the mini marshmallows and mix until melted. Off the heat, add the Rice Krispies and gently stir until combined.
- Spray cupcake pans with nonstick spray, then lightly wet your hands. Scoop a ball of Rice Krispies to form a small nest in each cupcake tin, making sure it comes up above the lip of the pan slightly.
- Place the coconut into a freezer bag. Add 3 drops of green food coloring, seal, and shake until all the coconut is green and looks like “grass.”
- Add about 1 tablespoon of coconut grass to the top of each bird nest and place your favorite kind of egg-shaped candy on top.
- Let the treats cool until you are able to easily unmold them. Enjoy!
Notes
- These nests can be customized with various types of candies to suit your taste.
- For a crunchier texture, consider adding crispy chocolate eggs as a topping.
