Edible Peeps Nests Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 bag of marshmallows small ones melt easier
- 1 stick of butter real butter
- 1 box of Fiber One Cereal
- 1 bag of candied eggs I used the malted Robin eggs
Instructions
- In a large sauce pan melt the butter then add the marshmallows on medium heat.
- Stir constantly so the marshmallows don't burn.
- Once the marshmallows are completely melted add the whole box of Fiber One cereal to the marshmallow mixture.
- Grease your hands with Crisco (you can even use cooking oil or butter if needed because the greasing will help you hands not to stick to the marshmallow when you are forming the nest).
- Allow the mixture to cool just enough for you to be able to handle it. (don't let it cool completely because you still need to form the nests)
- Form a small pancake shape in your hand and press your thumb in the middle of the mixture until it creates a nest.
- Place the mixture on parchment paper to allow it to cool completely to hold its shape.
- Once it's cooled completely you can add your malted robin eggs and peeps!
