How To Make Easter Egg Rice Krispie Treats

 Start by melting marshmallows in a tablespoon of butter on very low flame. Once marshmallow melts remove it from heat and pour it over Rice Krispies. Spray cooking oil over spatula to avoid rice krispies and marshmallows sticking to it. Mix with spatula gently until everything comes together.

Note – In the video recipe, you won’t find the steps foe melting marshmallows and adding in rice krispies to melted marshmallows. Such a blunder – I thought  my camera was on and recording the steps, but realized much later that the camera did not record the vital steps. And I ran out of marshmallows and rice krispie cereal to reshoot it. Kindly excuse! Such a blunder and i’ve been literally pulling my hair off for making a critical mistake! 

Grease your palm with butter or oil. While the mix is still warm, divide into equal portions(as big or as small treat you’d like to make). Roll the rice krispie balls and shape into birds nest shape.

Optional step – to make neat birds nest shape, once I shaped the rice krispie balls roughly into nests I place them in muffin tray and shape it completely to get perfect (somewhat) Easter birds nests shapes.

Shape all portions of Rice Krispies into Easter birds nests and place in muffin trays. Let it rest of 2-3 hours. I pop them in fridge to help cool faster and harden so it holds it’s shape.

Just before serving, sprinkle some green colored coconut shreds over the Rice Krispie nests and top it with Easter chocolate balls.

To make green colored coconut grass (shreds) – Slice coconut shavings into thin strips. Mix few drops of green color in water. Dip coconut into the food coloring. Dip and remove soon if you want lighter colored coconut. Spread it over baking tray and let it dry completely.

Then use it as garnish or Easter Rice Krispie treats Nest.

Sprinkle few green coconut flakes. Top it with chocolate eggs ( I love these pastel colored Easter chocolate Eggs).

Serve Immediately.

Can I Make Easter Birds Nests Treat Without Rice Krispies?

No Rice Krispies? No problem. You can still make Easter birds nests treats with some of the following cereals-

Chow mein noodles – Deep fry chow mien noodles and break it up into small bites. Pour melted marshmallow, butter, peanut butter mix over crispy chow mein, shape into birds nest by placing them in muffin trays. Instead of peanut butter, you can pour melted chocolate to make chocolate Easter birds nests with chow mein.

Pretzels Sticks – Break pretzels. Add melted marshmallows and shape into birds nests.

Old-fashioned Oats – Melt butter. Add sugar, milk, cocoa and combine it. Add oats and mix it up. Shape into birds nests. Top with chocolate Easter eggs.

Corn Flakes – Melt butter, chocolate chips and corn syrup in microwave. Stir in corn flakes. Shape into birds nests. Top with Easter chocolate eggs.

Notes

  1. Use fresh marshmallows to make the best Easter nests.
  2. Don't melt marshmallows on high heat. Pull the pan off heat when you see marshmallow are melted. Don't wait, you'll burn your marshmallows.
  3. Always grease your palm with melted butter or oil before working with the rice Krispie treats.
  4. Easter Nests can be stored in air tight container for 2 days at room temperature. Don't store longer, it'll go bad.
  5. To store longer, freeze unfilled Easter nests. Lay in one single layer in air tight container lined with parchment paper and store in freezer for few months. To serve, let the nests stand in room temperature for 30 minutes before you fill with chocolate Easter eggs.
  6. The recipe makes approximately 5 large Easter nests. Shape it as small or as big you like.
