Bird Nest treats

6 cups Rice Krispies

4 cups colored marshmallows (the fruity marshmallows give the nests a darker color)

1 tsp vanilla

4 T butter

1/2 Cup shredded coconut

green food coloring

Jelly beans
frosting (optional)

1.Make Rice Krispies treats as directed on box.

2. Lightly butter your hands.

3 Pinch out a handful of the prepared Rice Krispies treats, roll in a ball, and place into cupcake wrappers.

4 Form ball into a "bird nest" formation.

5 While Rice Krispies nests are cooling, dye the coconut.

6 Place coconut in a bowl and add green food color-shake until coated well.

7. I put a little frosting to hold the coconut but not something that you need to do.
