1 cup candy-coated chocolate eggs
Instructions
1. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.

4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract if using.

Use low heat when melting marshmallows to keep nests soft and chewy.
Grease your hands before shaping to prevent sticking.
Work quickly before the mixture firms up.
