Natural Nests (Easter treat) and Tasty Tuesday Party


Pin It
First, thanks to all the new linkers last week... seemed like there were a few! Also, I really appreciate those of you who come back week after week! 
Make sure you are connected with facebook, I link up lots of things that I am doing and looking at throughout the week!
I am in full Easter mode here... house decorated a bit and lots of crafting done. Check out my latest posts bar above to see the Easter Basket and Wreath I made (both tutorials!).
Now, for a tasty Easter treat!
 I'm calling them Natural Nests... Don't get me wrong.. I am drooling over all the colorful rice krispie versions of this around! But, I am co-hosting an Easter party for 20 kids 3 and under and the thought of all those kids sugared up makes me scared! So... I did a little looking and found a mostly healthy version, and I think they look great! Oh, and they taste good too!
You will need:
even parts of honey and peanut butter (I used 3/4 cups)
Heat honey and peanut butter in a pot until bubbly... keep stiring!
Pour in corn flakes (or rice krispies) until all the mix is used and the cereal is all coated.
Put a spoonful in greased muffin tins. I used both mini and regular. After it cools a bit, grease your fingers and press the mix down into the tin. Place 2/3 Almonds in each one for "eggs". 
I put each on on round graham cracker for a base. Keep refrigerated until use.
I've wrapped my individually for the kids tomorrow... hope they like them!
Now... I had a hard time picking a few features this week! SO many great ideas!
Your Features are pinned on my Tasty Tuesday Featured Board on Pinterest...

  9. I think this is a clever and wonderful idea. I am featuring it on My Meatless Mondays and hope others will copy it. It makes a special treat, different than the colored eggs and just as tempting.

  10. What a data of un-ambiguity and preserveness of valuable knowledge about
    unpredicted emotions.

  11. Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective.
    A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and appearance. I must say you have done a fantastic job with this. Also, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Chrome. Excellent Blog!

  13. I am really loving the theme/design of your weblog.
    Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility
    issues? A few of my blog audience have complained about my blog not operating
    correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox.

    Do you have any advice to help fix this problem?
