Instructions
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the mini marshmallows and continue stirring until fully melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until fully coated.
Let the mixture cool slightly until it’s warm but easy to handle. Spray your hands with non-stick spray or butter, then press scoops of the mixture into a greased muffin tin, creating a small indent in the center to form a nest shape. Let them set for about 10 minutes.
Making the "Straw" Layer
Add the shredded coconut to a zip-top bag. Add 1-2 drops of green food coloring, seal the bag, and shake until evenly coated. If using a bowl, stir with a fork until mixed. Spread on a baking sheet to dry for a few minutes.
Assembling the Nests
Sprinkle the green coconut or white chocolate shavings inside each nest.
Add three candy eggs on top of the straw to complete the nest.
