Easter Snacks

I wanted to make something fun for Kody to take to the kids in her preschool class for Easter this year.  Instead of doing the same ole candy in a plastic egg I made birds nests!




All you need...
  • Rice crispy cereal
  • Marshmellow creme
  • coconut
  • green food coloring
  • frosting
  • M&Ms (or any other candy for the eggs)

  1. Make the rice crispy treats as normal.
  2. I put them in a mini muffin pan to get the shape
  3. Add a little green food coloring to the coconut for the grass
  4. Spread a little frosting on the top of the treats and sprinkle the colored coconut over it.
  5. Add a dab of frosting to the bottom of the candy so they will stay put in the "nest"

I individually wrapped each one and put a little Happy Easter note in them.  
The kids LOVED them!
