Method
Step 1
Spray a mini muffin tin with some non stick cooking spray or grease with butter. Set aside. In a small saucepan, melt your butter over medium heat. Mix in your marshmallows and cocoa powder. Stir until smooth.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine your Cocoa Pebbles and melted marshmallows mixture folding it together with a silicone spatula until well incorporated.
Step 3
Take a tablespoon of the Cocoa Pebble mixture and press it firmly into the mini muffin tin. Use the back of a tablespoon to really compact the cereal together and to create your divot for your nest. Allow the rice krispie treats to cool fully (about and hour).
Buttercream Grass

In a small bowl, whip together your powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and milk until smooth and fluffy. Add in the green food coloring until you reach your desired coloring.

Fill your piping bag with buttercream and use a grass piping tip to fill the centers of your nests with grass. Place 2-3 m&m eggs in the center. Use a butter knife to remove the nests from the muffin tin. Serve and enjoy!

Store any extras in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.
