I often see these Rice Krispie Easter treats made with shredded coconut, dyed green with green food coloring.
I have also seen them made using edible grass.
Since we are total chocolate-lovers, we opted to use green chocolate instead.
I think they came out great – what do you think?
I like using Mini Eggs or Robin’s Eggs for these bird’s nest treats, but you could use jelly beans or jordan almonds instead if you wanted to. Any egg-shaped treats would work really.
