An easy Easter treat using Rice Krispies (or other crisp rice cereal), peeps and small chocolate eggs.
Ingredients
- 6 cups rice cereal
- 1 10oz bag of marshmallows
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- green food coloring
- parchment or wax paper
Instructions
- Pour coconut oil in large saucepan on low heat.
- Once coconut oil is melted, add the bag of marshmallows and stir until marshmallows have melted and mixture is smooth.
- Add green food coloring until desired color is achieved, adding little by little, stirring color.
- Add in the cereal and fold in cereal to the mixture until it is all mixed well together.
- Wet your hands so mix doesnt stick and make krispie balls. Place them on parchement paper. Then, with the back of a wet spoon, push the center part of the ball in to create the nest. (You can use a muffin tin if you have one to make the nests too.)
- Refrigerate for an hour so that the treat can harden and chill. Then, top the nests with peeps and chocolate eggs. Enjoy!
