I guess I don’t know what brown rice cereal is. a google search reveals a wide variety of possibilities. Please give a hint with a brand name or grocery section?

It’s the same thing as Rice Krispies, except it’s made with brown rice instead of white rice. You can find it as a bulk item in Whole Foods or sometimes in the cereal aisle. I’ve added a link in the recipe to a brown rice cereal available on Amazon. Regular Rice Krispies would be fine too. ~ Nick

What an interesting recipe. Not sure where to get brown rice cereal but I’m guessing regular corn flakes may work too?

Brown rice cereal is easily found in health food stores or even as a bulk item in Whole Foods. I have a feeling corn flakes would work pretty well but you’d have to crush them up first. Let me know how it turns out if you attempt it! ~ Nick

Oh my Nick, my husband would love these. OK, I would too. :) Not a jelly bean fan, but I’m thinking they’d be great with a little chocolate in the center!

Love these! I thought at first those were m&ms and was almost disappointed to find out they were jelly beans (like I was actually going to eat them or something) – but I like the twist! …and uh, I suppose I could use m&ms if I made them.

It’s cool that you have the nutritional info in here. You just keep making this site better and better, don’t you ;)

Haha, so far everyone thought they were (or should be) chocolate and I never even thought of it, we’ve just always used jelly beans. And thanks, I appreciate the compliments =) ~ Nick

While I’ve never made the “classic” version, these sound simply good enough to try to veganize- though I already have several easter goodies concocted in advance! :-)

Mmm, mmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmmmm! Love bird nests, especially when they have 1) PB, 2) EGGS!

Mmmmm. Perfect for Easter! But I would totally substitute mini eggs for the jellybeans. Gotta have the chocolate in there ;)
