It’s Ruthie from Cooking with Ruthie, and I’m delighted to share one of my favorite Rice Krispie treat recipes just in time for spring.
Let’s Celebrate Spring with These Adorable Spring Rice Krispie Treat Nests!
Warmer weather is finally here, and these cheerful, bite-sized nests are perfect for spring gatherings, classroom parties, or an easy homemade treat. They’re simple to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
How to Make Spring Rice Krispie Treat Nests
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 (16 oz) package mini marshmallows
- 8 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 3–4 drops green food coloring
- 36 mini Cadbury eggs
- Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
- Place the coconut in a small bowl and mix in the green food coloring until evenly colored; set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and mini marshmallows. Microwave 1 minute, stir, then microwave 30 seconds more and stir until smooth. If needed, microwave an additional 15 seconds to finish melting.
- Stir half of the Rice Krispies into the melted marshmallow, then add the remaining cereal and mix until fully combined.
- Spray your hands with cooking spray. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing gently and making a small well in the center of each to form the nest shape.
- Fill each nest center with a portion of the green-tinted coconut to resemble grass.
- Allow the nests to cool and set completely in the tin.
- Once cooled, place three mini Cadbury eggs in the center of each nest.
- Serve and enjoy!
