THE EASIEST EASTER DESSERT: MARSHMALLOW BIRD NESTS
Did you guys catch that title? I am about to share with you the absolute easiest Easter desert on the planet. The best part is that it tastes delicious and looks absolutely adorable. It is a great recipe to make with your kids because it is so simple and fun. Don't let the Chow Mein noodles scare you off, I promise that it tastes like a delicious, crunchy Rice Krispy treat. I frequently will use these as a little place setting for my Easter table and put the name cards in the nest surrounding by the eggs or propped against the marshmeallow peep.
