Rice Krispie Easter Egg Nests Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• Coat two muffin tins with cooking spray that doesn’t stick.

• Melt butter in a big pot over a medium heat.

• To the pot, add the marshmallows. Cook the marshmallows over medium heat, stirring, until they melt and mix well with the butter.

• Take off the heat. Add salt and vanilla to the marshmallow mixture and stir.

• When adding the cereal to the pot, toss it around so that the marshmallow mixture coats it evenly.

• Take a generous ¼ cup of the rice krispie mixture and fill 16 muffin cups with it. Press the rice krispies into the middle of each up to form a nest using a tablespoon measuring spoon.

• Once the goodies are one hour firm, take them out of the muffin cups and place them onto a dish.

• Put the coconut and three to four drops of green food coloring into a big resealable bag. To get the coconut’s hue, shake the bag.

• Place one spoonful or more of the green coconut in the middle of each nest.

• Place three little eggs on each nest.

FAQs AND TIPS

Tips for Making Rice Krispie Easter Treats

• To freeze the Easter treats, store the undecorated treats in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. Allow the treats to defrost at room temperature before decorating with the coconut and eggs.

• To avoid stale tasting treats, use fresh marshmallows and Rice Krispies cereal.

• Any egg shaped candy will work for this recipe. If you do not have mini chocolate eggs, you can use jelly beans, peanut Easter M&M’s, or another Easter chocolate instead.

• If you use salted butter, leave the salt out of the recipe.

• In order to prevent the Rice Krispies mixture from sticking to your tools, spray your measuring cup and tablespoon with nonstick cooking spray before using.
