I got this recipe from my sister. She is so fortunate to have the really cool craftsy gene! This is great for an Easter idea, kids (old and young alike) will love these! A nice combination of sweet and salty too.

Spray 12 cup muffin tin with Pam, drop a gob of mixture in each spot. Press mixture around inside of cup and bottom to build nest.
