Happy first day of April! Today I am having oral surgery done so I will be home relaxing for the next couple of days. Unfortunately, I will not be playing any pranks today on April fool's day ;). Anyways, I thought I would share one of my favorite Easter dessert recipes I have been doing ever since I was a child. These Rice Krispies nests are really easy to make and are adorable for Easter and the season spring since it finally has decided to arrive! Ha, that is somewhat a lie because mother nature is hiding spring from us east coasters because just last night it was snowing.
Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon water
2 to 4 drops of green food coloring
1/2 cup flaked coconut
3 tablespoons of butter or margarine
1 package (10 oz, about 40) Marshmallows
Steps:
1. In a small bowl, stir together water and green food coloring. Add coconut. Stir until coconut is tinted. Spread on baking sheet to dry.
2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
3. Add Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal, and stir until well coated.
4. Divide warm mixture into 16 2 1/2 inch muffin pan cups coated with cooking spray. Shape mixture into individual cups. Let it cool and remove it from the pan.
5. Fill the nests with coconut, marshmallows, jelly beans, or chocolate eggs. It is best if they are served on the same day.
This recipe is really simple and only takes 40 minutes to bake! You can find the recipe here
