I recently found a bag of dinosaur marshmallows from Jet-Puffed. My dino-loving kids were so excited for them. On the back of the bag was a recipe for dinosaur nests that we decided to try.

I didn’t have the exact ingredients listed on the back of the bag so I made some substitutions and changed the recipe to work with what I had.
