Each Easter I make Easter Nests with my children. We make green rice krispie treats, roll them in balls and place eggs (jelly beans) in the nests. It's an easy treat, so the kids can do a lot of the work. We always share them with their friends at pre-school as well. I remember making these Easter treats with my mom as a child and now I am passing the tradition on to my children. Hopefully, my children will pass this tradition on with their little ones when they become parents.

1. I think the "eggs" are adorable and had to try....I have those Jello "egg" molds for jello jigglers....sprayed them, and formed "eggs" in there....when harder...I'll decorate by dipping in choclate and sprinkles.....and I am going to put in Easter cup cake muffin papers....and slip in a clear bag with tie to give Also, think I'll do the "nests"
