Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups miniature marshmallows, 10 oz
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, sliced
  • 7 cups corn flakes cereal
  • Mini Whoppers Robin Eggs, or any candy-coated chocolate eggs

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to get it ready for the nests.
  • Add the marshmallows and butter to a large bowl that’s safe for the microwave.
  • Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  • Gently mix in the corn flakes, stirring until every flake is evenly covered with the marshmallow mixture.
  • Lightly coat your hands or a spoon with butter or nonstick spray to keep the mixture from sticking.
  • Press about 1/3 cup of the mixture into a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter, shaping it into a nest.
  • Carefully lift the cookie cutter and repeat with the remaining mixture.
  • Set 3 candy eggs right in the center of each nest.
  • Let the nests set at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, or place them in the freezer for quicker firming.
  • Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
