Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Rice Krispies
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup Nutella
- 1 cup Nutella (for decoration)
- ½ stick (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons (70 grams) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tbsps colored sprinkles
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Nest Preparation: Melt honey and Nutella in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at 10-second intervals until smooth. Fold Rice Krispies into the warm mixture, ensuring even coating.
- Molding and Chilling: Press the chocolatey cereal mixture into a greased muffin tin, creating nest-like shapes. Refrigerate for minimum 3 hours to set firmly.
- Cupcake Batter: Sift dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Cream butter until light, gradually adding sugar. Incorporate egg, mixing until combined.
- Baking Process: Alternate adding flour mixture and milk with vanilla extract on low speed. Distribute batter in a 375°F preheated mini muffin tin, baking 10-12 minutes until golden.
- Assembly and Finishing: Cool cupcakes completely on a wire rack. Place each mini cupcake into prepared Rice Krispie nests. Warm Nutella briefly, spreading generously over cupcakes and garnishing with colorful sprinkles.
Notes
- Melt with Precision: Use microwave-safe bowl and stir every 10 seconds to prevent burning or uneven chocolate melting.
- Fold Carefully: Mix Rice Krispies gently to maintain cereal crispness and ensure complete chocolate coating without crushing.
- Chill for Stability: Refrigerate nests for minimum 3 hours to create firm structure that holds cupcake shape securely.
- Decorate Smartly: Warm Nutella slightly for smooth spreadability and add sprinkles immediately after topping for best adhesion.
