Sweet treats
are definitely something I love to really indulge in during the holidays and I love to bake most of my goods from scratch but when I
happened to see these sweet Egg Nests I knew I had to give it a try! Not only
is it a great combination of my own personal childhood favourite but so simple even the kids will be able to help!
These are super
easy to make and your littles would totally be into helping! There are two ways
to make rice crispy treats (microwave or stove top) so just make sure that it
is cool enough for your little ones to help out with! I suggest wearing gloves
if these are getting distributed to others.
After cooking
the ingredients together, we used a cookie scoop to fill a pre-greased muffin
pan. If you don’t have a scooper I’d say ¼ cup of the mix would be sufficient (this makes about 16 nests).
Then quickly after placing the rice crispy mix into the pan, use a spoon (or your hands for more fun) to push
the center down into the pan to make a cup-like shape. We didn’t worry about
making this step perfect as nests are unique, I love how the edges were all
different! Give these a bit to cool down before decorating.
I loved adding
the extra texture of the cotton candy but know that it does dissolve over time
so you can add this touch right before you serve them. Then add your eggs and
your little treat is complete!
These were just
a treat to make and I hope you’ll try them out too! Thanks for reading and let
me know what other treats you enjoy making for spring and Easter!
