Description

These adorable Easter Rice Krispie & Chocolate Mini Egg Nests are a fun and festive treat to make with kids or for Easter gatherings. They are easy to assemble and perfect for celebrating the holiday.


Ingredients

Rice Krispie Nests:

  • 4 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 oz marshmallows
  • 3 tbsp butter

Chocolate Eggs:

  • Mini chocolate eggs


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice Krispie Nests: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispies until well coated.
  2. Shape the Nests: Using a greased muffin tin, press the Rice Krispie mixture into the cups to form nest shapes. Let them cool and set.
  3. Add the Chocolate Eggs: Once the nests have set, place mini chocolate eggs in the center of each nest to resemble bird eggs.

Notes

  • You can customize these nests by adding green-tinted coconut ‘grass’ or edible flowers for decoration.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
