Instructions

Cupcakes

  1. Bake cupcakes according to the instructions on the box.
  2. After cupcakes have cooled completely use a sharp knife to cut a hole into each cupcake, do NOT go all the way through the bottom.
  3. Save the piece that comes out of the hole and trim it so that it is a small "lid". Set next to the cupcake it came from.
  4. Use a spoon to fill each hole with marshmallow cream.
  5. Place the corresponding lid on top of each cupcake hole, capping off the marshmallow filling.
  6. Fit your pastry bag with your tip and fill the bag with a multi-opening tip (sometimes called a grass tip) with chocolate frosting and pipe it on the top of the cupcake in a circle. Create a single layer over the top of the cupcake and then go around the outer edge of the cupcake 2 or 3 more times to build up the sides of the nest.
  7. Add three candy eggs to each nest.
  8. Enjoy!

Marshmallow Fluff

  1. Melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  2. Add melted butter to 10.5 ounces of marshmallow fluff.
  3. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
