Easter Birds Nests (Peanut Butter Free) image

I got this wonderful recipe from Dina de Leon on my mom's website that I go to. She posted it in a thread after asking about using PB in the recipe since it was going to her DC's school. After she posted it, I asked if I could add it to my online cookbook. She said yes so here it is. Also, while I'm posting the pic of these super cute nests, I can't take credit for it. Dina also took the picture. Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 cups corn flakes, unsugared
6 tablespoons salted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (10 1/2 ounce) bag marshmallows
54 jelly beans

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot adding the vanilla once it's melted.
  • Mix in marshmallows.
  • Once marshmallows are completely melted and mixed with the butter, add the cornflakes.
  • Spray fingers with Baker's joy or butter to avoid sticking. With a spoon place tennis ball-sized portions of the mixture on wax paper, flattening them out and creating a sulcus (for lack of a better word) in the center of each.
  • Place a 3 jelly beans in the center of each treat to represent eggs.
