Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 (10 oz) bag of marshmallows
- 6 cups crisp rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
- 2 – 4 drops green food coloring
- 1/4 teaspoon water
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut
- chocolate eggs, Jordan almonds, or jelly beans
Preparation
Step 1
Melt the butter over low heat in a large saucepan. Add the marshmallows and stir until they’re completely melted. Remove from heat and add the crisp rice cereal. Stir the marshmallow mixture until all of the ingredients are well combined.
Divide the warm marshmallow mixture between the coated muffin tin cups (about ⅓ to ½ cup per nest). Shape the mixture into individual nests by pressing into the center with the back of a tablespoon coated in cooking spray. Allow the nests to cool for 30 – 60 minutes or until they’re set.
In a small bowl, stir together the green food coloring and water. Add the flaked coconut and stir until they’re combined and the coconut is tinted light green. Spread the coconut mixture on your lined baking sheet to dry.
Fill the cooled nests with the coconut “grass” and chocolate eggs, Jordan almonds, or jelly beans. The nests are best if served the same day, but can be stored for no more than two days at room temperature in an airtight container.
