Allison's Bird Nests ☆☆☆☆☆ [pg 97 HFC]
I opted to microwave the marshmallow cream, butter, and peanut butter and this worked very well. The ingredients stir together very quickly and my large cookie scoop was the perfect size to create the nests. I had only placed the peanut m&m's into two nests when I knew I had to share this with our Friday school teachers. Mrs. Flynn is looking forward to making these with the kids at the end of her bird unit.
It was hard to wait for the cookies to firm up before trying them but I resisted. Upon first bite I knew they would rank high. After my second cookie I had decided they were a five, but I had to wait for my husband to get home and give a rating. He took one bite and gave them a five. I agreed and these will most likely be made again in the near future. Thanks to my niece Allison for contributing these and at our house, the recipe will now bear her name.
At this rate you will be done with desserts and ready to move on to a new section by July :)
ReplyDeleteActually, I believe there are over 365 dessert recipes in the cookbook, but yeah I am on a roll. I predict the baking will really slow down as the wedding gets closer. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe were desiring more of these wonderful treats and I have successfully used marshmallow creme in Rice Krispie treats, maybe marshmallows would work in these? NOPE, a big nope. The marshmallow creme is naturally softer and works so much better. The regular marshmallows get hard too fast, anyone knows this if you make krispie treats, you have to work so fast to get them into the pan.
ReplyDeleteMy advice, stick with the marshmallow creme on these.
