Description
Adorable, no-bake treats made with crispy rice cereal and marshmallows, shaped into nests and filled with candy eggs—perfect for Easter or springtime fun!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 (10-oz) bag mini marshmallows
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- Cooking spray or butter, for greasing
- 1 cup chocolate eggs (Cadbury Mini Eggs, M&M’s, or jelly beans)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over low heat. Add mini marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract (if using).
- Gently fold in Rice Krispies cereal until well coated.
- Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- Scoop a small amount of the mixture into each muffin cup, pressing gently in the center to create a nest shape. (Use the back of a spoon or greased fingers.)
- Let the nests cool and set for about 30 minutes.
- Once firm, remove from the muffin tin and fill each nest with chocolate eggs or jelly beans.
Notes
- For chocolate nests, stir ½ cup melted chocolate chips into the marshmallow mixture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Instead of a muffin tin, shape the nests by hand on parchment paper
