Birds Nest Krispie Treats a Fun, and Easy No Bake Treat

Sharing is caring!

Today I’m sharing another one of our treat recipes. We made Birds Nest Krispie Treats. These treats are super easy to make for spring, Easter, a party treat or any other celebrations. I think they’d be a cute baby shower treat too. Honestly, these are the easiest sweet treats to make. 

Birds Nest Krispie Treats 

We created the bird’s nests out of Krispie rice cereal and added Mike and Ike jelly beans, and Peeps to them. Plus added sprinkles to make them festive. 

This is such a fun spring treat to make with kids and teens. 

How to make Birds Nest Krispie Treats

This is an easy no-bake treat. You’ll love how fun and easy these Krispie birds nests are to make. What’s not to love about adding all the colorful candies to the bird’s nests, and into your mouth?

1. Pre-spray your cupcake tin, and set to the side
2. Melt your marshmallows and butter. 
3. (Melt marshmallows in a microwave measuring cup or bowl for 1 min, stir, heat 1 more min. if needed)
4. In a separate bowl melt butter the same way only 35 sec. at a time, until melted.
5. Add them to your bowl of Krispie cereal.
6. Mix the 3 ingredients together.
7. Scoop into a cupcake tin. 
8. Use the back of the scoop handle to indent, and shape your birds’ nest. 
9. Sprinkle a little edible grass onto your nest. Let the nests set up, and marshmallow harden. 
10. Remove from cupcake tin, add to your serving plate. 
11. Add in your jelly beans.
12. Top with peeps for the kids. 

NOTE: All the amounts you need are in the printable treat recipe at the end of the post. To get your peeps to fit into your birds’ nest, use clean kitchen scissors to cut the outside ring off the peep. Add a little of the edible grass to that area, it will minimize the white. 

We really enjoy making treats for seasonal holidays, birthdays, and other celebrations. Do you? Grab the printable recipe below!
