How to Make Chick Egg Krispies Nest Easter Treats

  1. Lightly spray 2 cupcake/muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of margarine over low heat.
  3. Add 10 ounces (about 2 cups) of marshmallows and stir frequently over low heat until completely melted and well combined with the margarine.
  4. Remove from heat.
  5. Stir in 5 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  6. Immediately spoon the mixture into muffin/cupcake tins, filling almost to the top but not packing down.
  7. Using a greased thumb or a greased shot glass, gently press down on the center of each Krispies treat to create a nest shape.
  8. Allow to cool and set completely – approximately 20 minutes.
  9. Carefully remove the nests from the muffin tins and place them in extra-large foil cupcake liners.
  10. Place 2-3 egg-shaped candies in each nest.
  11. Separate the marshmallow peep chicks and gently place one on top of each nest.
