Easter Rice Krispies Treats Nests

My girls love to help in the kitchen. They especially love it when we make desserts, and one of their favorite things to help make are Rice Krispies Treats. We make them pretty frequently, so they know the basic recipe and it is so easy they can really help. This time, we made Easter Rice Krispies Treats Nests.

This is a sponsored post.

At the mention of Easter Rice Krispies Treats, my girls were ready to help.

Rice Krispies Treats are so easy to make, they are perfect to make with kids. Even three-year-old Sissy was excited to help. I don’t let her help with the stove yet, but dying the coconut flakes was a great kid-sized job for her.

Easter Rice Krispies Treats Nests

Ingredients

• 6 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
• 2 Tablespoons Butter
• 1 Bag Kraft’s Jet-Puffed Marshmallow
• 1/2 Cup Sweetened Coconut Flakes
• 4-5 Drops Green Food Coloring
• 1 Bag Cadbury Mini Eggs

Directions

Grease muffin tins and set aside.

Place coconut flakes in a plastic bag, add 4-5 drops of green food coloring and shake to mix well.

Melt butter on low heat in large pot. Melt marshmallows in butter, stirring continuously.

Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies Cereal.

Fill muffin tins with Rice Krispies Treat mixture.

Tip – when making these with kids, grease their fingers with butter so they don’t stick. 

After filling all of the muffin spots, gently push down the center of each Rice Krispies Treat.

Sprinkle green coconut flakes on top of each Rice Krispies Treat. Place three Cadbury Mini Eggs in the middle of each nest.

Everyone loves Rice Krispies Treats, and they are so easy to make. Plus there are so many creative ways you can take the simple Rice Krispies Treats recipe and make it something unique.

Last year, the girls and I made Easter Egg Rice Krispies Treats (with a surprise inside). So much fun, and still a favorite. (BTW – this post is like a time-hop, K has grown up so much since last year!) And my daughter’s love when I make a Rice Krispies Cake!

Tomorrow Crystal from Crystal & Co. will share her Easter Rice Krispies Treats Cupcake Toppers. Aren’t they cute?!
