Easter Bunny Nests

Prep 20M | Chill 2Hr | Enjoy!

Easter Bunny nests are a fun way to combine some Easter favourites with shredded wheat. Make them ahead of time and hide them around the house on Easter morning, or make them with the kiddos for a fun family activity. The little ones will love creating each and every nest and topping them with the candy-coated bunny eggs! You can even get creative and top each nest with other Easter candies as well.
