Ingredients
-
1 ½ cup mini marshmallows
-
2 tbsp butter
-
1 pack of Salt & Pepper flavor CauliPuffs
-
Coconut flakes
-
Green food coloring
-
Sprinkles of your choice
-
Mini chocolate eggs
Directions
Mix a few drops of green food coloring with water in a bowl. Then add coconut flakes and stir to coat evenly. Let sit to absorb color for approximately 15 minutes, then spread on a surface to dry completely.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the marshmallows and butter for approximately 2 minutes with 30 seconds intervals, making sure they aren’t puffing up too much and spilling out of the bowl.
Crush CauliPuffs into small chunks and NOT into a fine powder.
Mix well until smooth, then add the Caulipuffs chunks followed by some colorful sprinkles (optional) and stir until well combined.
Place cupcake liners in a cupcake pan and scoop the mixture into the liners. Now use a greased utensil to make a circular depression at the center to shape them into a bird’s nest.
Allow it to set for about half an hour.
Add green colored coconut flakes in the center followed by some chocolate mini eggs. Optionally, you can decorate it to your liking and enjoy these cute, delicious treats.
