Rice Krispies Easter Nests
Report
Making Easter egg nests out of Rice Krispies© is adorable and simple! The nests are made with the long-established Rice Krispies© treats recipe. I sprinkled a bit of cocoa powder to the mixture making the nests darker in color and gave them a hint of chocolate flavor.
