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.

Tips for Making Easter Egg Treats:

  • Choose the right chocolate: For best results, use high-quality chocolate that contains at least 70% cacao.
  • Temper your chocolate: This is a process of heating and cooling the chocolate in a specific way to make it smooth and shiny. You can find instructions on how to temper chocolate online or in chocolate-making books.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include nuts, sprinkles, coconut, and chopped candy bars.
  • Be patient: Making Easter egg treats takes time and patience. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with messy, broken eggs.
  • Have fun! Making Easter egg treats is a great way to get into the holiday spirit. Enjoy the process and let your creativity flow.
