I truly enjoy cooking and baking with my kids. It’s messy and the end result can be a little off, but man is it fun. My girls find so much joy in creating whether it’s crafts or food and I’m lucky that I am able to teach them a thing or two in the kitchen.
Watch how Lauren and I made these Rice Krispie Treat Nests for Easter, then scroll down for the full recipe and a few tips.
I love just about everything in this recipe. These nests are not only delicious, but they are also colorful and fun too! A plate of these will look lovely on an Easter buffet and I know kids, as well as adults, will enjoy this dessert.
We used Robin eggs candy to top them off, they look like cute little eggs in a nest! You can use any egg shaped candy you like, or mix it up and make a few variations. Dark chocolate eggs for Mom, Jelly beans for kids, there are so many options here. You can also color the Rice Krispie treats before forming the nests to add even more color to your Easter table.
