I whipped up these little easter egg nests a few days ago and they were so easy and turned out so cute–I had to share!
I used the basic rice krispy treat recipe, but instead of rice krispies I used rice noodles.
For ingredients you’ll need rice noodles, marshmallows, butter, non-stick spray {for the muffin tin} and jelly beans or chocolate eggs.
Follow the directions on the marshmallow bag or these directions here. After they were ready, I put a scoop of mixture into each muffin tin. The mixture was really hot, so I waited a few minutes until it cooled and then used my fingers to shape each scoop into a nest.
To finish it off, I stamped manilla tags with our enjoy stamp and tied them around cellophane bags. So simple and so sweet!
Wouldn’t these be fun at each place setting for Easter lunch?
Now my mouth is watering, must go find some leftover chocolate eggs to munch on!
where would I buy these noodles went to two different stores and they did not have them. thank you
I found them at Target and I’ve seen them in the asian section at our grocery story. xx
Crud…I bought chow mein noodles…..will they work too?
They should work! Give it a try!
I tried the chow mein noodles…I think rice noodles would work better. Definately will try again 🙂
Would these still be good if i make them a day in advance?
They get hard, but they are still tasty. And adorable.
Simple and cute. Love it!
my girls would LOVE to make these!
thanks!
I love these! They’re adorable! Your jewelry is awesome, too!!
I’ve see these here and there lately in the blogsphere and I must say YOURS looks especially wonderful!!! I’m going to be making these with Alice. 🙂
OH….and Megan is right, leftover chocolate is definitely an oxymoron.
Cute nest! I made something like this a couple of weeks ago. Stopping by from TT&J.
I’m visiting from TT&J and just wanted to say how much I love your creations. I was also thrilled to see a recipe with Cadbury Mini Eggs – they’re my all-time favorite sweet!
Adorable! Nice classroom treat!
