Nest cornflake treats perfect for your Easter celebration. An adaptation of the classic corn flake wreath. Similar to rice krispy treats, but even more delicious.

SaveHello and welcome! This week I’m sharing a family recipe for nest cornflake treats. You’ll see several adaptations to this treat because it’s a must at all of our family gatherings. 🙂

The recipe is similar to rice krispy treats, but somehow corn flakes make a world of difference in flavor.

Ingredients

6 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup butter
7 cups corn flakes
Mini whoppers robin eggs

Supplies

Recipe Instructions & Tips

I have to warn you — these treats are super sticky and messy to make. But it’s so worth it. 🙂 In a large bowl, add 6 cups of marshmallows and 1/2 cup butter. Slicing the butter allows it to melt a little easier.

Melt the butter and marshmallows in the microwave in small increments, stirring frequently until smooth and all the butter is melted.

Fold 7 cups of corn flakes into the marshmallow mixture.

On top of wax paper and with greased hands or a spoon, press the cornflake mixture firmly into circle cookie cutter. You can use butter, spray or shortening to grease your hands. I like the spoon option better, but you still have to grease the spoon when it gets too sticky. And greasing the cookie cutter will help as well. Then use a spoon to form the nest.

Carefully lift the cookie cutter and repeat. The recipe should make about 18-20 treats. Depending on the size of your cookie cutter. Cornflakes can be a little harder to work with than rice krispies.

Add your Whoppers Robin Egg candy.
