Notes
Egg variants:
I used cute mini eggs in these nests, but you can use whatever kind of small Easter egg candy you like, or even try putting just one larger egg in the center for and eggcellent treat :D
Storage:
These fun rice krispie Easter nests will store well in an airtight container lined with parchment paper for up to one week. After this they will still be safe to eat, but may start to go a little stale over time.
