FAQs

Here are some common questions I see from readers about these Easter bird’s nests.

Variation Ideas

This Easter birds nest recipe offers lots of flexibility. Here are some ideas:

Swap Out The Cereal: A common way to make these is to use crispy Chow Mein noodles as the base. Try replacing the Frosted Flakes with Chow Mein noodles or Corn Flakes. You could even use pretzels!

Butterscotch: Replace the peanut butter baking chips with butterscotch baking chips. Yum!

Egg options: I personally love the Whopper eggs, but if you want to try something different, swap them out for jelly beans, M&M eggs, or Cadbury mini eggs.

How Long do These Easter Bird’s Nest Cookies Last?
