Method: The 10-Minute Magic
1. Prepare Thy Nesting Grounds 🐣
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with butter, oil, or your favorite nonstick spray.
2. Melt the Good Stuff 🍯
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until smooth and creamy (no burning allowed—we’re not here for toasted vibes).
3. Cereal Time
Remove from heat, stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until it’s all evenly coated in marshmallowy joy.
4. Nest Formation 💪
Scoop about ¼ cup of the mixture into each muffin cup. Press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form little nests. Pro tip: Use the bottom of a measuring cup or wax paper on your fingers to avoid sticky fingers and wonky nests.
5. The Best Part—Cadbury Eggs! 🐰
Gently press a few mini Cadbury eggs into the center of each nest. Try not to eat them all before they make it to the nests. (No judgment if you do.)
6. Cool, Set, Serve. Repeat.
Once everything is set and cooled, pop the nests out of the muffin tin, place them on a platter, and try to resist the urge to say “awwwww” every time you look at them.
At Feed Your Soul, we take pride in our process, our facility, our team, our products, and our mission to give back. We bake integrity into everything we do—and yes, that includes whimsical marshmallow nests too.

Happy snacking & happy spring!
