Classic Rice Krispie treats are shaped into little nests and chocolate eggs transform into eggs in the nest. These are as easy as they come with no baking and just a few simple steps.

What You Need to Make Rice Krispie Easter Nests

Mini Marshmallows

Rice Cereal

M&M's or other Easter Candy

Salt (Optional)

Vanilla (Optional)

Making Rice Krispie Nests

No Bake Treats are always one of my favorite desserts for busy holidays. This way the kids can help in the kitchen without using the prime kitchen space like the oven and dessert is ready to go once everyone is finished easter Ham!

These are so easy with only a few ingredients and only one bowl/pot is needed. If you are cooking with you kids you can even use the microwave to heat up the butter and marshmallows so it is safe for them to help.

Once they are all done all you have to do is swap a regular baking dish for a cupcake pan to make these Rice Krispie Easter Nests into a cute and festive holiday treat. Just spray the the cupcake pan with non-stick cooking spray before you start so they pop out easily. As you are scooping the Rice Krispies make an indent with your fingers so there is a small hole to put your candies into. Once they are finished you have dessert all ready to go!

Food Allergies-

Gluten Free- We make these gluten free but you can easily swap the gluten free rice cereal for Rice Krispies. We use the Gluten Free Nature's Path Crispy Rice Cereal.

Peanut Free Candy- Swap candy that doesn't contain peanuts like Cadbury Eggs or just regular M&M's
