What a fun recipe. I have made these for years but have always added a little peanut butter to the mixture. This has always been a big hit :-)

This was a hit at my daughter's preschool Easter party. I put the jelly beans in while the noodles/marshmallow were still warm and they stayed put very well.

My family loves these. The only thing that I do different is use the pastel (Easter) peanut M&M's in place of the jelly beans.

I passed this recipe on to my sister-in-law, and she made them for Easter a couple of weeks ago. She filled each one with jellybeans and wrapped each one individually with cellophane and tied with a little chenille stick bow. They were so cute next to each place setting on the dinner table. Yummy too! They taste similar to rice krispie treats but they're much harder so watch your teeth!

just darling and very good flavor. I made 2 batches; first batch as written in the muffin tins, and found that the nests are quite thick and big. Made the second batch with the suggestion of Breeze and added a few tbsp of peanut butter. With the second batch, I just free-formed them onto parchment paper. No sticking at all, and with the fingertips wet, they were easy to mold into little nests making them a little smaller and got more out of the batch. Used 'peeps' rabbits in some, marshmallow chicks in others, and cadbury pastel chocolate eggs. I like the chocolate flavor with the nest. Love the versatility of this recipe. Could also add some butterscotch morsels to the marshmallow/butter mixture, or chocolate chips. So cute and easy! Nice presentation on the Easter goodie trays. thanks for the recipe.

These were exactly what I was looking for. Put the Jelly Beans in before the cookies set, that way they'll stick a little!
