Spring Chocolate Nest Dessert IngredientsÂ

Directions:
- Melt the chocolate chips in a pan on low heat on your stove top.

This is such a cute treat for Easter! The peanut butter is a great touch, too. Never hurts to sneak something a little healthy into your desserts!
Thankyou so much and I promise they will be gobbled up before you know it 🙂
I have made these for years in my kindergarten classroom. You can create theses nests without the peanut butter since so many children have nut allergies. So easy, fun and the children love them. Jelly beans work nicely for the eggs too.
I love your tips! Such a fun treat ?
