Peanut Butter Crunchy Nests and {My Sisters}

My mama used to make these for my sisters and me when we were little.

peanut butter rice krispy nests for easter

Last week when my husband was out of town, I felt very nostalgic making them with my 4-year-old. It sent me into a series of flashbacks, standing on a chair in the kitchen from my childhood.

And I hope that my boys will always share the bonds of tradition and family and familiarity that I share with my sisters.

So, here's to my lovely baby seesters. You're some of my favorite people.






And here's to our wonderful mama, too.



Peanut Butter Crunchies (Nests)

1/2 c. corn syrup
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. peanut butter
2 cups puffed rice cereal
miniature chocolate egg-shaped candies (Robin's Eggs)

Bring syrup and sugar to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and add cereal. Drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper. Push the candies into the center to create little nests.

  8. My mom always made these, too, but without the "eggs." She made them all year for after-school snacks, etc. Like you said, good memories...
