Description
These festive Easter Rice Krispie & Chocolate Mini Egg Nests combine gooey marshmallow, crispy cereal, and pastel chocolate eggs for a fun, no-bake holiday treat.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup chocolate mini eggs
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- Cooking spray or additional butter (for greasing)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over low heat. Add mini marshmallows and stir constantly until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Immediately stir in the Rice Krispies cereal, folding until fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter. Spoon the cereal mixture into each cup and shape into nests by pressing the center down and pushing mixture up the sides.
- While nests are still tacky, press 3–4 mini chocolate eggs into the center of each nest.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Drizzle melted chocolate over the nests and mini eggs.
- Allow nests to set at room temperature. Once firm, remove from tin and serve or store.
Notes
- Garnish with sprinkles, shredded coconut, or edible glitter for extra flair.
- Serve with fruit salad or other Easter brunch favorites for a colorful spread.
- Wrap in cupcake liners or cellophane for gifting.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze undecorated nests and add toppings just before serving.
- Let sit at room temp to soften slightly before eating if stored.
