Easter Bird Nests

Spring is here, the birds are returning and Easter is next weekend. There are so many clever ideas for Easter treats and this is a favorite.

Here's what you'll need:

Sheet Pans lined with Parchment Paper. 

1 C White Chocolate Chips

1 TBS Crisco

3 C Miniature Pretzel Sticks.

Mini Chocolate Candy Eggs

In a Glass Mixing Bowl. (I used a large Stainless Steel Bowl)

Broken Pretzel Sticks

In a Microwave safe Bowl. (I opted to Melt mine in a Double Boiler)

Chocolate 

Crisco

Heat just until melted, stirring until creamy smooth.

Immediately pour over the Pretzels, gently mixing with a Silicone Spatula.

Create the Nests with a Cluster of the Pretzels on the Sheet Pans lined with Parchment Paper.
At this point I dipped the Eggs in a bit of Chocolate to secure them to the Nests.

Allow them to cool until the Chocolate is set.

Transfer them to a Serving Platter.

NOTE: I recommend using a Double Boiler to melt the Chocolate.
I also dipped the bottom of each Egg in a bit of Chocolate to secure them to the Nest.

Enjoy!

Peace in the Kitchen
