Ingredients
  

Nests Ingredients
  • 2 cups gluten free rice cereal
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Use dark or milk chocolate based on preference.
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter Can substitute with sun butter for nut-free option.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Adjust the amount if skipping nut butter for moisture.
  • Easter candy eggs For decorating the nests.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix the rice cereal with the chocolate chips and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the peanut butter and honey together over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  3. Pour the melted mixture over the cereal and stir until evenly coated.
  4. Using your hands, form small clusters that resemble nests and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Press a few Easter candy eggs into the center of each nest.
  6. Refrigerate until set, then enjoy!

Notes

For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate chips. These nests are best served chilled and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Separate layers with parchment paper if stacking.
