3 cups brown rice cereal
1 cup reduced-fat shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1/3 cup organic light corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter
1t vanilla
40 pectin jelly beans or chocolate eggs

Instructions:

1. Combine cereal and coconut in a large bowl. In a medium saucepan, bring the remaining ingredients (corn syrup, brown sugar, peanut butter and vanilla) to a boil, stirring constantly. Pour into the bowl and stir until well mixed.

2. Let mixture sit until it is cool enough to handle, but the hotter it is the easier it will be to work with. Grab a small handful, squeeze together and shape into a nest. Place 3-4 vibrant jelly beans in the center. Let cool completely and store in a sealed container. Makes about 12-15 cookies.
