No matter how many fancy desserts I learn how to make Rice Krispie Treats remain one of the most delish to gobble up.  Using the traditional Rice Krispie Treat recipe plus a few jelly beans you can quickly make your very own birds nest perfect for a Spring dessert. 

Rice Krispie Treat Bird Nests
makes approximately 16 nests
based on Original Rice Krispie Treat Recipe

1 Tablespoon butter
1 1/3 C miniature marshmallows (or 13 large marshmallows)
2 Cups Rice Krispies
jelly beans
mini muffin tin

Melt butter in saucepan. Add marshmallows and stir until melted. 

Remove from heat, add the Rice Krispies and stir until completely coated.

Place a spoonful of Rice Krispie mixture in a greased miniature muffin tin.  Make an indent in each Rice Krispie bird nest. 

Place two jelly beans in each nest and let cool. 

You could easily adapt this recipe to use large muffin tins, but I love the little bite-sized treats!

Let me know how they turn out!
