Chocolate Coconut Easter Nests Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup shredded coconut 

• 1 cup See’s Candies Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

• See’s Candies Milk Chocolate Eggs and Dark Chocolate Eggs

Instructions:

1. Prepare muffin pan: Line each cup with a parchment paper square. Extend the paper beyond edges for easy removal later.

2. Melt the chocolate: Place See’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 60 seconds, then stir until smooth. If needed, microwave for additional 15-second bursts, stirring after each interval, until fully melted.

3. Mix in coconut: Stir shredded coconut into the melted chocolate until well combined.

4. Form the nests: Scoop two heaping tablespoons of the chocolate-coated coconut shreds into each parchment-lined muffin cup. Using the back of a spoon, gently press and shape the mixture upwards along the sides of the paper to form a nest shape. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

5. Chill to set: Place the muffin pan in the fridge for at least two hours or overnight to ensure nests are fully set.

6. Assemble: Once set, remove the nests from the fridge. Carefully lift them out of the muffin tray and arrange on a serving platter. Place See’s Milk Chocolate Eggs and Dark Chocolate Eggs inside each nest (with or without foil, depending on preference).

7. Store in fridge: Keep the nests in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
