CHICK & EGG KRISPIES NEST EASTER TREATS

Chick & Egg Krispies Nest Easter Treats image

I make these little treats for my son to take to school. It's a perfect, cute little Easter treat. I serve them in the individual over-sized cupcake papers. You could use plain Rice Krispies and/or omit the chick.....still just as cute. Prep time does not include cooling and setting time.

Time 20m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

5 tablespoons margarine
6 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (about 1 1/2 10.5 oz bags)
9 cups COCOA KRISPIES® cereal
90 unwrapped pastel candy-coated chocolate egg-shaped decorative candies (I usually use a combo of Reeses Pieces Pastel Eggs, Hershey's Pastel Eggs, Cadbury and or jelly bean) or 90 jelly beans (I usually use a combo of Reeses Pieces Pastel Eggs, Hershey's Pastel Eggs, Cadbury and or jelly bean)
2 (4 1/2 ounce) packages marshmallows, peeps chicks (I use yellow)

Steps:

Lightly spray 2 cupcake/muffin tins w/ nonstick cooking spray.
In a large saucepan, over low heat, melt margarine. Add marshmallows, and stir frequently over the low heat until melted and mixed well with melted margarine. Remove from heat.
Stir in Rice Krispies and mix to coat well.
Immediately spoon into muffin/cupcake tins to almost full, but not packed down.
With greased or wax-paper-covered thumb, OR greased shot glass, press down on center of the Krispies treats to form nest shape. Allow to cool and set completely---about 20 minutes.
Remove to extra-large foil muffin/cupcake liners.
Place 2 or 3 egg-shaped candies in each nest.
Separate the marshmallow Peep chicks and gently press a chick on top of each nest.

Tips:

To make the nests, use a lightly greased mini muffin tin. This will help the nests hold their shape.
Use any type of chocolate chips you like. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or semi-sweet chocolate all work well.
If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.
Be careful not to overcook the Rice Krispie treats. They should be just set, but not too hard.
If you want to make the nests ahead of time, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
