Mini Egg Krispie Nests
Combining our two favourite things gooey Rice Krispie treats with mini eggs!
Ingredients:
½ cup butter
400g mini marshmallows
½ tsp vanilla
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
130g crushed mini eggs
Mini eggs (whole) for decorating on top
Directions:
Melt Butter & Marshmallows: In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Add Vanilla & Rice Krispies: Stir in the vanilla extract. Then, add the Rice Krispies cereal and gently stir to coat the cereal in the marshmallow mixture.
Incorporate Crushed Mini Eggs: Add the crushed mini eggs into the mixture and stir until they're evenly distributed.
Form the Nests: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture and form small "nests" by pressing them into a rounded shape. You can make the nests as big or small as you prefer.
Decorate: Press a few whole mini eggs into the center of each nest to resemble an egg-filled bird’s nest.
Set & Serve: Allow the nests to cool and set for about 1 hour at room temperature. Once set, they should hold their shape.
