How to Make Marshmallow Easter Nests
Gather Your Ingredients
To make these adorable marshmallow easter nests, you will need the following ingredients:
6 cups of crispy rice cereal
4 tablespoons of butter
1 package of mini marshmallows
1 cup of mini chocolate eggs or other Easter candies
Make sure to have all your ingredients measured and ready to go before starting the recipe.
Melt the Butter and Marshmallows
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir until they are completely melted and well combined with the butter. This will create a sticky and sweet mixture that will hold the crispy rice cereal together.
Add the Crispy Rice Cereal
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the 6 cups of crispy rice cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold the cereal into the mixture until it is fully coated.
Shape the Nests
Using a greased muffin tin, scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into each cup, pressing it down to create a nest shape. Make sure to leave a hollowed-out space in the center of each nest for the eggs.
Add the Easter Candy
Once the nests are formed, let them cool for a few minutes before adding the final touch – the mini chocolate eggs or other Easter candies of your choice. Add a few eggs to each nest, pressing them gently into the center.
Let Them Set
Allow the nests to cool and set for at least 30 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Once they are set, you can gently remove them from the tin and place them on a serving platter.
Enjoy!
Now that your marshmallow easter nests are complete, it's time to indulge in this fun and festive treat. These nests are not only tasty, but they also make a great activity to do with kids during Easter festivities. So go ahead and add this delicious and easy recipe to your Easter menu and watch as your guests rave about these adorable treats.
