Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 10 cups mini marshmallows
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 cup mini chocolate eggs or candy-coated eggs
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Quickly fold the Rice Krispies cereal into the marshmallow mixture, stirring until evenly coated.

Step 5

Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes, so it’s easier to handle, but not too long or it will harden.

Step 6

With greased hands or a spoon, scoop a portion of the Rice Krispies mixture into each muffin cup and gently shape it into a nest by pressing down the center to create a shallow dip.

Step 7

Let the nests cool and set for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 8

Once cooled, carefully remove the nests from the muffin tin.

Step 9

Place a few mini chocolate eggs or candy-coated eggs in the center of each nest for decoration.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days for a fresh treat.
