Chocolate Easter Birds Nests are so adorable and easy to make. They are no-bake, making them a great option to do with the kids. I'm sure they will be a huge hit, whether for kids or adults.
Chocolate Easter Birds Nest
These cute little Easter nests are going to be added to my other easter theme sweets.Easter Bunny Butt Cake Easter Bunny Cupcakes and Easter Chocolate Dipped Pretzels, All have been so fun to make because they are bright and colorful. These nests are kinda bland chocolate but when you throw in the pastel chocolate eggs, they pop.
These cute little no-bake egg nests are made with just a few ingredients that you probably have in your pantry. I used peanut butter but any kind of nut butter can be used. The recipe called for honey but I did not have any so I used sugar-free maple syrup, you also need butter or coconut oil. In addition, you will need vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and quick oats. You will also need chocolate eggs or jelly beans for the bird eggs.
When I was making these cookies/nests I had them sitting on the counter. I left the room momentarily and when I returned, my puppy had jumped up and eaten half of my cookies. Of course, I was irritated be, I was afraid cause I now only had a few cookies for my pictures. Also being they were chocolate I was worried that she was going to get sick. However, they didn't seem to bother her.
