Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups Cocoa Krispies
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk chocolate)
- 36 Cadbury Mini Eggs
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwavable-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals on low-power, stirring in between until fully melted.
- Mix Ingredients: Stir together peanut butter and melted chocolate. Pour over Cocoa Krispies in a bowl, stirring until fully coated.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a 12-count muffin tin. Scoop the mixture evenly into each cup, creating nests. Use a spoon to hollow out the center of each nest.
- Harden Nests: Place the muffin tin in the fridge or freezer to harden the nests.
- Add Eggs: Once hardened, place three Cadbury mini eggs in the center of each nest.
Notes
- You can customize these nests by adding shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or sprinkles to the mixture before shaping them.
- For a festive touch, use pastel-colored candy eggs for Easter or any occasion.
