Birds Nests Recipe
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup flaked coconut
- 1/3 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 40 jellybeans
- In a medium bowl, stir together the crispy rice cereal and coconut. In a large saucepan, combine corn syrup, brown sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat stirring frequently until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat, and stir in the coconut and cereal mixture until it is well coated. Set the mixture aside until cool enough to handle.
- Form the mixture into balls, then make an indention in the center so that they look like little bird nests. Place two or three jelly beans into each nest.
