Description

These adorable Easter Egg Krispies Nests are a fun and festive treat perfect for springtime. Made with crispy rice cereal, marshmallows, and candy eggs, these cute nests are a delightful addition to any Easter celebration.


Ingredients

For the Krispie Nests:

  • 4 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows

For Decorations:

  • Mini candy-coated chocolate eggs
  • Green food coloring
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare 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 crispy rice cereal until well coated.
  2. Form Nests: Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Using a greased spoon, fill each muffin cup with the Krispie mixture, pressing the center to form a nest shape. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  3. Add Decorations: Once the nests have set, place a few mini candy eggs in the center of each nest. Tint some of the Krispie mixture with green food coloring and shape into small leaves to place next to the eggs.

Notes

  • You can get creative with different colored candy eggs for a more vibrant display.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
