Chocolate Chick Eggs in a Nest – Fun Treats for Easter and Spring

Looking for an easy and fun recipe for Spring and Easter treats? Check out these adorable chocolate chick egg nest treats! A recipe so simple, your kids will be able to help and a treat so delicious, they’ll beg you for more. These cute little nests are made from handmade rice cereal treats, shaped like a bird’s nest, shredded coconut and three colorful chocolate eggs. It’s an inexpensive and easy treat for the whole family. These are perfect for your next Easter party or just for an after school snack!

When it comes to holiday treats, I try to come up with options that are quick. When you have three very impatient kids in the house, you really don’t have any other option. These treats took about 15 minutes and that was only because I didn’t realize how sticky they really are. My advice, make sure you have wax or parchment paper on hand! Which reminds me…

Here Are The Supplies You’ll Need:

Ziplock bag
Muffin Tin
Cupcake Liners (optional)
Something Small and Round
Wax Paper
Sauce Pan
Silicone Spatula or Spoon
Tongs

Want to Create the Bunnies Too?

After we were done with the chocolate chick egg nest treats, we wanted to create a little bunny as well. What’s more Easter than bunnies and chicks? The bunny is super easy to do. Just take some shredded coconut that hasn’t been dyed and add the rabbit feet and tail. These cute little tail and feet candy pieces can be purchased at Target for under $5. They also come with white sprinkles that you can use instead of the coconut (or save them for your next baking project).

If you’re looking for a little more complicated option, you can also make cupcakes and top them with a little frosting, the green shredded coconut and chocolate candy eggs. I bet those would be just as much a hit as these chocolate chick egg nest treats are.
