Instructions: Rice Krispies Bird Nests
- In large saucepan melt butter over low to medium heat. Add butter until melts
- Then add marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
- Once the marshmallows and butter have combined, turn down heat and add your rice krispies slowly combining as you go making sure to mix all together well
- Once combined remove from heat and let cool.
- Butter or spray your muffin tin and scoop enough rice krispy mixture into each tin pushing down and creating nest.
- Once you have filled a muffin tin you will want to pop in freezer for about 10 minutes to let set up
- Then once they have set up take a few pieces of edible easter grass and plave on the bottom of the rice krispy nest
- Then take 3 robin eggs and place them on top of the edible grass.
- Then repeat for all until you have as many nests as you desire.
Crazy Busy Mama Tip:
When working with the rice krispies to form them in the muffin tin, make sure to wet your hands. This will help to keep it from sticking to your hands when trying to form them into the nests.

I made these for my daughter’s baby shower and they were a huge hit! Easy to make & great presentation. I used coconut mixed with white chocolate for the nest.
