Marshmallow Cereal Bird Nest Recipe
Who doesn’t love a sweet little bird nest treat for Easter!? These marshmallow cereal bird nest treats were a hit at my house and I wanted to share them with all of you! Since it’s basically a rice crispy treat you don’t even really need a recipe but just in case I’ve got you covered! I just added my own little twist to try and make it just a teensy bit healthier by using bran cereal instead of fried chow mein noodles! These aren’t quite as sweet as my Chocolate peanut butter butterscotch nests and they look a little more realistic which I like!

Dessert tastes better when it’s displayed well. I’m so in love with my Amalfi Decor crystal cupcake stand! {Affiliate Link}
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups All-Bran cereal
- 2 Tb Butter
- 1/2 bag Marshmallows (mini or large)
- 30 Cadbury mini eggs
- 1/4 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp Vegetable oil - I prefer Avocado oil
Instructions
- Melt marshmallows and butter on low heat stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
- Measure cereal out into a large bowl and pour melted marshmallows over the top.
- With a large spoon stir cereal until well mixed and evenly coated with marshmallow.
- Make a disk shape with sticky cereal approximately 5" across and use your thumbs to push up sides creating the nest shape.
- You will want to work fairly quickly so the cereal is still pliable by the last nest.
- Once all 10 nests are created melt chocolate chips in microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between.
- When melted add 1/2 tsp of vegetable oil and stir well.
- Using your spoon drizzle chocolate across the tops of all the nests and let harden.
- Store in an airtight container but best if eaten the same day.
- Add 3 Cadbury mimi eggs to the center of each nest right before serving
- Enjoy!
