Easter Rice Krispies Treats Bird Nests🐣

Color the shredded coconut with green food coloring. Add a few drops of green food coloring to a Ziplock bag, then add the coconut, and shake the bag until all the coconut is colored.

Get your peeps and Robin eggs ready to go. In the picture, I have large Robin eggs as well as the minis. I like the minis much better, but I thought I would show them both in the photo, even though I ended up not using any of the large ones.

Make the Rice Krispies Treats. I used the original Rice Krispies Treats recipe for my bird nest craft recipe. Grease a 9x13-inch glass pan and set aside. Add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter to a warm pot and let it melt completely. Next, add 40 large marshmallows to the pot on low heat, stirring constantly.

Once the marshmallows are completely melted, add the 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal.

Spread the cereal mixture into a 9X13-inch pan. Wait for the mixture to cool enough to handle.

Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, start forming your birds' nests by hand, leaving an indentation in the middle for the Peep and Robin eggs. Next, add some green coconut for the grass, a marshmallow Peep, and 2 Robin eggs. Also, the orange-colored Peep bird in the photo is S'mores flavored with chocolate on the bottom; it's delicious!

Enjoy! Happy Easter!
