Rice Krispy Easter Egg Nests are a fun no-bake treat that everyone loves. Get the kids involved because they will love making and eating these.

A bunch of rice krispy nests filled with candy

I can hardly call this a recipe – so I’ll call it a fun recipe idea to make with the kids. 

Let’s face it – everyone loves Rice Krispy treats. And I have to tell you I am one of those people. I have no self-control when it comes to these little goodies. 

How To Shape Rice Krispy Easter Egg Nests

I made two sizes of the adorable little nests using a standard-sized cupcake tin and a small-sized cupcake tin. 

The large cupcake tin was easy. I just formed the Rice Krispy treats into a ball and used my hand to shape them into nests. Then I placed them into the cupcake tin and ran my thumb around the middle to make sure they were snug in the pan.

For the small cupcake tin, I also form the treats into balls. But this time I used the back of a wooden spoon to press them into the tin making the “bird’s nest” shape.

I placed the tins into the refrigerator for 1 hour and then moved them to a cookie sheet to fill them with candies.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips For Getting Kids Involved

I don’t often give tips on how to involve the kids since mine are grown, but these are a fun recipe that even the youngest kids can enjoy making. 

  1. Have the older kids mix the marshmallows, butter, and cereal. Be very careful as the marshmallow and butter are very hot.
  2. Kids of all ages can shape the balls and the nests.
  3. Younger kids can count the number of candies to go in each basket. They can also separate them by color.
