Wanna make something easy and cute AND yummy?
These are super easy and really kinda fun to make! Wouldn’t they be cute to have at each place-setting on Easter Sunday!?
This is probably a recipe you already have but I do a little something different…
Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies…(Nests!)
1 Bag of TINY Robin Eggs (Candy coated Chocolate-Malted eggs)
2 Cups sugar
**Less Than~1/2 Cup Cocoa (Nests turn out a lighter color if you use a little less than 1/2 cup!)
1 Stick butter (8 Tablespoons)
1/2 Cup milk
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla
3 Cups Oats (Add a hand-full more if the consistency is too runny.)
3/4 Cups Peanut Butter
**2 Palm-fulls of Butterscotch Chips** (you can omit this…but it’s yummy!)
Combine sugar, cocoa, butter and milk over medium heat.
When mixture starts a roiling boil, stir and boil for one full minute.
Remove from heat…
Stir in: vanilla, oats, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips.
***Complete one nest and egg cookie at a time***
On wax paper…
Use an ice-cream scoop to make small balls and shape carefully and quickly into little nests.
Add 2 or 3 tiny Robin Eggs…press to secure the eggs!
Happy Tuesday Before Easter Peeps!

I think Russell Stover makes little nests made out of coconut. I hadn’t thought of using a no bake cookie for the bottom, but this is brilliant! Thank you so much for this idea!

I love these! I cannot wait to make a them. I will alter them slightly (substituting sunbutter for peanut butter b/c of a peanut allergy). My kids are going to love them. I’m sure of it. I have been meaning to try out this favorite recipe with the sunbutter substitution for a while. This will be extra fun to celebrate Easter. Thanks!
