CHICK & EGG KRISPIES NEST EASTER TREATS

Chick & Egg Krispies Nest Easter Treats image

I make these little treats for my son to take to school. It's a perfect, cute little Easter treat. I serve them in the individual over-sized cupcake papers. You could use plain Rice Krispies and/or omit the chick.....still just as cute. Prep time does not include cooling and setting time.

Time 20m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

5 tablespoons margarine
6 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (about 1 1/2 10.5 oz bags)
9 cups COCOA KRISPIES® cereal
90 unwrapped pastel candy-coated chocolate egg-shaped decorative candies (I usually use a combo of Reeses Pieces Pastel Eggs, Hershey's Pastel Eggs, Cadbury and or jelly bean) or 90 jelly beans (I usually use a combo of Reeses Pieces Pastel Eggs, Hershey's Pastel Eggs, Cadbury and or jelly bean)
2 (4 1/2 ounce) packages marshmallows, peeps chicks (I use yellow)

Steps:

Lightly spray 2 cupcake/muffin tins w/ nonstick cooking spray.
In a large saucepan, over low heat, melt margarine. Add marshmallows, and stir frequently over the low heat until melted and mixed well with melted margarine. Remove from heat.
Stir in Rice Krispies and mix to coat well.
Immediately spoon into muffin/cupcake tins to almost full, but not packed down.
With greased or wax-paper-covered thumb, OR greased shot glass, press down on center of the Krispies treats to form nest shape. Allow to cool and set completely---about 20 minutes.
Remove to extra-large foil muffin/cupcake liners.
Place 2 or 3 egg-shaped candies in each nest.
Separate the marshmallow Peep chicks and gently press a chick on top of each nest.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, not margarine, and fresh eggs.
Be careful not to overcook the cereal. You want it to be crispy, but not burnt.
If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
Be creative with your decorations. You can use candy, sprinkles, or even fresh fruit to make your nests look festive.
These nests are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Chick Egg Krispies Nests are a fun and easy Easter treat that the whole family will love. They're made with just a few simple ingredients and can be decorated in any way you like. Whether you're making them for a party or just for a special snack, these nests are sure to be a hit.
