How to Make Simple Easter Nests

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
  3. Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring gently until evenly coated.
  4. Lightly grease your muffin tins. You can use a variety of sizes for different nest sizes.
  5. Using a spoon or your hands, shape the Rice Krispies mixture into nests within the muffin tins.
  6. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely before removing from the tins.
  8. Once cooled, decorate your nests with mini chocolate eggs, jelly beans, or other Easter candies.
