Easter Bird Nests image

These little nests taste like crunchy no-bake cookies - they're delicious. Both kids and adults will enjoy making these. What a fun and yummy addition to your Easter dessert table! If you're in a pinch and don't have time to tint the coconut, try edible grass they sell in the stores at Eater. It'll work like a charm.

These nests are so cute and easy to make. I used mini chocolate chips instead of regular-sized chips and they turned out great.

My daughter and I had a great time making these nests this weekend. They were very easy to make and turned out so cute! We added some jelly beans to the top for a little extra sweetness. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
