Ingredients
3 cups cocoa Rice Krispies
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk chocolate chips
36 Cadbury Mini Eggs (3 per nest)
Instructions
1. Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals on low power.
Stir between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
2. Add Peanut Butter
Immediately stir peanut butter into the melted chocolate until fully combined and smooth.
3. Coat the Cereal
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cocoa Rice Krispies.
Stir gently until all cereal is evenly coated.
4. Prepare the Muffin Tin
Lightly grease a 12-count muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
5. Form the Nests
Scoop the mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each one.
Use the back of a round measuring spoon to gently press and hollow out the center of each nest.
6. Chill
Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator (about 30 minutes) or freezer (about 15 minutes) until fully set.
7. Add Mini Eggs
Once hardened, remove nests from the tin and place three Cadbury Mini Eggs in the center of each.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Work quickly before the chocolate mixture firms up.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Swap milk chocolate for semi-sweet or dark chocolate if preferred.
For nut-free versions, use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
Mini cupcake liners can be used instead of greasing the pan.
