Spring Birds Nest Treats

Ingredients:

6 cups crisp rice cereal

1 package mini marshmallows

2.5 tbsps. butter

egg candies (chocolate or jelly beans)

canola oil spray

mini muffin tray

 

Yields: 48 Birds Nests

 

Directions:

Step 1: In a large non-stick pot place the butter until melted on a low-medium temperature. Then add marshmallows and stir every couple of minutes until melted.  Then add the crisp rice cereal and mix until the marshmallows are evenly incorporated.

Step 2: Spray a mini muffin tin lightly with canola oil, so that the mixtures do not stick and remove easily. Scoop out a small amount into each opening and mold with your fingers. Work quickly as the mixture cools quickly.  Then place an egg shaped candy in the center of each one.

Step 3: Remove gently with a spoon and place on parchment paper, wax paper or a cooling rack.  Then repeat step 2 with the remaining half of the mixture.  Enjoy!
