# Instructions:
01 -
Lightly coat your cupcake pans with grease, then set them to the side.

Put the butter and marshmallows into a microwave-friendly bowl. Heat for around 2 minutes, keeping an eye out to stop any bubbling over.

Blend your melted butter and marshmallows together, then fold in the puffed rice cereal until it's well-mixed.

Scoop spoonfuls of the mix into the oiled cupcake pans and use wax paper to press them into nest shapes.
05 -
Leave the made nests alone for about 30 minutes to fully firm up.
06 -
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with milk, vanilla, and 2 cups of powdered sugar until creamy, about 5 minutes. Slowly add the food coloring and the rest of the sugar, stirring until smooth.

Use a piping bag to swirl green frosting onto the nests, then add the candy eggs on top.
