Do you need an easy and attractive treat to serve for Easter or a related party? These Nest Krispie Treats will hit the spot!

Nest Krispie Treats, the Perfect Easter Dessert! | Allergy SuperheroesThe hardest part of this recipe is shaping the nests. Rice Krispie Treats are notoriously stickly, so you’re going to need to grease up your hands between each nest (or two at the most.) This will, admittedly, add a bit more fat to the finished product, but I can’t think of any other way around the sticky treats falling apart in your hands.Nest Krispie Treats, the Perfect Easter Dessert! | Allergy Superheroes

You’ll also want to make sure you shape the nests very quickly once the treats are ready. If they firm up too much, you won’t be able to sculpt them.

I made the grass for these in two ways. First, I made my favorite Cream Cheese Frosting (contains dairy and corn) and tinted it green, but you can use your favorite safe-for-you frosting. Then I used a piping bag to pipe little blades of green frosting.

The nests in front only have frosting grass.

This worked well for me and Zax, but for hubby and Kal, I also tinted coconut green and sprinkled that on top of dollops of green frosting. They’re the only ones who like coconut and they seldom get it, so I decided to treat them this time.

You can see the coconut on the nest in the back

To color coconut for grass, add 2 cups of coconut flakes to a plastic bag or jar. Mix together a few drops of food coloring and 1-2 teaspoons of water until the color is even. Pour the colored water into the coconut and then close the bag or jar. Shake and/or squish until all the coconut is evenly colored.

You can fill these with any egg-shaped candies that you like! We favor Cadbury Mini Eggs, but Jelly Beans or egg-shaped candy from your favorite allergy-friendly company would work like a charm!

Serve these special nests at Easter or your next Spring Party! They’re sure to impress!
