Ingredients
  

For the Nests
  • 2 cups Pretzel Sticks Use gluten-free pretzels for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips Any high-quality chocolate can be substituted.
  • 1 cup Mini Candy Eggs Try pastel M&M’s or jellybeans for variety.
For Optional Fillings
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Coconut Omit if coconut isn’t preferred.
  • 1/4 cup Sprinkles Use sprinkles that complement the theme.

Equipment

  • microwave-safe bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • parchment paper
  • spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by placing your chosen milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each session, until melted and smooth.
  2. Once melted, add your pretzel sticks to the bowl. Gently fold the pretzels in the chocolate, ensuring each is thoroughly coated.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take small handfuls of the coated pretzels and shape them into nest-like forms on the lined sheet.
  4. Before the chocolate sets, place your mini candy eggs in the center of each pretzel nest. Sprinkle shredded coconut or pastel sprinkles if desired.
  5. Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let the nests chill for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened.
