Peanut Butter Chocolate Easter Nests

Author: Jenna
Peanut butter chocolate Easter nests are a delightful and whimsical treat perfect for the Easter season. These treats are created by melting marshmallow and butter and mixing it with Cocoa Pebbles cereal to form a crunchy, textured base for the nests. A generous dollop of creamy peanut butter is then added to the center of each nest, creating a delicious and indulgent surprise. The combination of sweet and salty flavors in the peanut butter and chocolate mixture makes these nests a delightful treat for both children and adults alike.
