Rice Krispie Birds Nests
Rice
Krispie
Birds Nests
3/4 cup butter
3 10 ounce
bag marshmallows (put 4 cups aside!)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 teaspoon coarse salt
11 cups Rice Krispies
1. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray or grease all sides with butter.
2. In a large pot, melt butter
over medium heat. Slowly brown butter while stirring. It will foam and then
turn a rich dark brown.
3. Turn off stove and add
marshmallows (except the 4 cups you set aside) and vanilla. You may see brown
flecks while you are mixing and that is ok. Stir until marshmallows are fully
melted.
4. Take off the heat and add the
Rice Krispies, 4 cups of reserved marshmallows and coarse salt. Mix until rice krispies
are evenly coated. Dump Rice Krispies into your prepared pan and spread evenly.
Spray your hand with cooking spray before you press so Rice Krispies don't
stick to you!
MAKING
THE NESTS:
While the Rice Krispie
mixture is still warm scoop each kid about a cup of the mixture on a piece of parchment paper.
Spray your kids
hands with cooking spray. Your kids will
love making these nests. When kids have finished
they can add candy eggs, jelly beans, malt balls or any oval candy to their
nests.
