In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, ¾ of the marshmallows and stir until they are completely melted. Remove from heat, add Rice Krispie Cereal and remaining marshmallows. Stir until the Krispies are completely coated. NOTE: The marshmallows you add at the end won't completely melt.
Spray each cavity of mini Bundt pan {or muffin pan} with non-stick spray. Prep a small Ziploc bag by spraying one side of it with non-stick spray, it will act like a glove to help keep the mixture from sticking to your hand. Divide Krispie mixture between the 12 cavities and press down. Let the Krispie treats set up for at least 15 minutes and then use a butter knife to pop them out of the pan.
Add shredded green wafer sprinkles to the top of each bundt. You might have to press down slightly. Then add 2-3 mini Cadbury Eggs on top of each nest. If the eggs aren't sticking to the nest, melt one ounce of white chocolate in the microwave and use it as the glue by adding a bit of melted chocolate to the bottom of each egg. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

A regular sized or mini muffin pan can also be used to make the Rice Krispie nests.
Jelly beans and M&M candies are both great substitutes for the Mini Cadbury Eggs.
To make edible grass: Add 1/2 cup of coconut to a zipper bag, along with a few drops of green food coloring. Shake until the coconut is coated.
