I didn't even think of putting this on the blog, but when I told one of my besties about them she said, YOU HAVE TO BLOG THAT! This tasty treat turned out cuter and tastier than I could have imagined, and were the perfect treat for little kindergarteners learning about birds!
Here's what I did:
Simple, simple...follow any ol' recipe for rice crispy treats EXCEPT sub 1 cup of golden graham cereal and 1 cup pretzel sticks for 2 of the cups of rice cereal. If you aren't making these into nests, transfer the mix to a buttered 9x13 pan and watch the bars quickly disappear. If nests are on the agenda, use a large scoop to portion out the sticky mix onto parchment paper. I then put a bit of coconut oil on a standard tablespoon and formed the nests. Nests are organic matter, so remind yourself of that if a few look like they belong in the HOT MESS column.
Little nests. I transferred them to a lidded container for transport to kindergarten.
Sending the washed and dried grapes in a separatecontainer to be added at snack time.

Of course these will be a perfect spring treat, to switch up for the old
chow mein bird nests we all devour around Easter time!
Kid and Parent approved in taste and appearance, FYI!
