Make cookies that look like bird nests! Pretty for school spring celebrations or Easter. You can use egg-shaped candies in lieu of the jellybeans, too.

Time 30m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups crispy rice cereal
1 cup flaked coconut
⅓ cup corn syrup
½ cup brown sugar
¾ cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
40 jellybeans

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the crispy rice cereal and coconut. In a large saucepan, combine corn syrup, brown sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat stirring frequently until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat, and stir in the coconut and cereal mixture until it is well coated. Set the mixture aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Form the mixture into balls, then make an indention in the center so that they look like little bird nests. Place two or three jelly beans into each nest.

I found that the nests were a little bland. I added some extra spices to the filling and they were much better.
