Description
Easter Chocolate Coconut Nests are bite-sized, no-bake confections made from melted chocolate and shredded coconut. They are shaped into small nests, filled with candy eggs, making them look like little bird’s nests ready for Easter morning. The combination of sweet chocolate and coconut creates a creamy, crunchy texture that’s hard to resist. Best of all, these nests are incredibly simple to prepare and are a great project to do with kids.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
1 cup chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Mini candy eggs (like Cadbury Mini Eggs, M&Ms, jelly beans, etc.)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Add shredded coconut to melted chocolate and mix until fully coated.
Scoop spoonfuls onto the baking sheet and shape into small “nests” using the back of the spoon or your fingers.
While chocolate is still soft, gently press 2–3 candy eggs into the center of each nest.
Chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes or until set.
Notes
These adorable chocolate coconut nests make a perfect Easter treat for kids and adults alike! Fill them with mini eggs, jelly beans, or any colorful candies to bring a festive touch to your dessert table. They’re fun, easy to make, and great for gifting too! 🐣💐
