Marshmallow Cereal Bird Nest Treats for Easter

These marshmallow cereal bird nest treats were a hit at my house and I wanted to share them with all of you! Who doesn't love a sweet little bird nest treat for Easter!? Since it's basically a rice crispy treat you don't even really need a recipe but I've got a couple nutrition upgrades for you!

I just added my own little twist to try and make it just a teensy bit healthier by using bran cereal instead of fried chow mein noodles! These aren't quite as sweet as my Chocolate peanut butter nests and they look a little more realistic which I like!

Author: Brianna Adams

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 cups All-Bran cereal
  • 2 Tb Butter or dairy free option

  • 30 Cadbury Mini Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp Coconut oil or Avocado oil

Instructions

  • Melt marshmallows and butter on low heat, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.

  • With a large spoon stir cereal until well mixed and evenly coated with marshmallow.
  • Make a disk shape with sticky cereal approximately 5" across and use your thumbs to push up the sides to create a nest shape.
  • You'll want to work quickly so the cereal is still pliable by the last next.
  • Once all 10 nests are created, melt chocolate chips in microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between.
  • When melted add 1/2 tsp melted coconut oil and stir well.
  • Using your spoon, drizzle chocolate across the tops of all the nests and let cool to harden.

  • Enjoy!
