For easier removal, you can also line the muffin tin with cupcake liners before pressing in the noodle mixture. Feel free to add a drop or two of food coloring to the melted marshmallow mixture for vibrant, colorful nests. Store leftover nests in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness. Consider adding sprinkles or edible glitter for extra flair.
