Yeah, we made them. SR brought one home with her on Thursday, and she and DB and I decided that we really needed to make some for Sunday.

You need:
pretzel rods
jumbo marshmallows (the really big ones!)
frosting (we used chocolate, but the ones SR brought home had green-tinted vanilla)
something to sprinkle on the frosting (we used graham cracker crumbs, the one SR had used flower shaped sprinkles. Tinted coconut would really look like nests)
Peeps!

Insert the pretzel rod into the marshmallow. We used a chopstick to poke a hole in the bottom of the marshmallow (the lady who brought them in said that she broke a few pretzels trying to get them in).
Frost the top and down the sides of the marshmallow.
Put the Peep on the top.
Put the sprinkles on.
We wrapped them in plain Glad wrap, and it does look rather like a nest, especially when you get a score of them together.

We think you can probably use standard size marshmallows, but you'd need to use Bunny Peeps so they wouldn't seem so top heavy.
