My mom made Easter Nests when my sister and I were little. It was a special Easter treat, and she placed one at each place setting for dinner after church. We were so excited because we rarely had candy in our house growing up. We always pretended to be surprised even though we came to expect it as we got older!
I made them for my kids and now my grandkids.
Ingredients:
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. peanut butter
21/2 c. shredded wheat cereal or rice crispies
jelly beans
Directions: Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Crush shredded wheat and add to mixture. Plop spoonfuls into muffin cup papers. Put jelly beans on top. Store in refrigerator one hour before serving.
