Ingredients
Method
- Start by lightly greasing a 12-cup muffin tin with oil or non-stick spray to ensure easy release later.
- In a large pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they’re fully melted and smooth.
- Remove the pan from the heat and immediately mix in the Rice Krispies until every piece is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Spoon the mixture into each muffin cup, pressing down slightly with a lightly buttered teaspoon to shape them into neat nest forms and create a small indentation in the center for decorating.
- Allow the nests to cool completely in the tin before gently removing them.
To Decorate:
- In a small bowl, prepare a thick icing by mixing the powdered icing sugar with 2 teaspoons of water (adjust as needed to achieve the desired consistency). If you like, add a few drops of green food coloring to mimic grass.
- Spoon a little of the icing into the center of each nest, then place mini egg candies into the indentation.
- Top with a light sprinkle of extra festive sprinkles, and your nests are ready to serve!
Notes
• Patience is key—ensure the nests have cooled completely so the candy coating sets firmly.
• For extra fun, try experimenting with different colored icing and decorations for a personalized touch.
• These treats are best enjoyed the day they’re made, but you can store any extras in an airtight container for a couple of days.
