Ingredients

• 200 grams milk chocolate chips
• 150 grams pretzel sticks (broken into smaller pieces)
• 50 grams mini marshmallows
• 150 grams mini chocolate eggs or candy-coated Easter eggs

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, pour the milk chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.

Step 3

Stir the broken pretzel sticks into the melted chocolate until all pretzels are evenly coated.

Step 4

Add in the mini marshmallows and gently mix to combine, ensuring the marshmallows are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Scoop small portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet using a tablespoon or clean hands to form ‘nest’ shapes.

Step 6

Press a small indent into the center of each nest to create space for the egg candies.

Step 7

Place 2-3 mini chocolate or candy-coated Easter eggs into the center of each nest while the chocolate is still soft.

Step 8

Allow the nests to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes to speed up the process.

Step 9

Once the chocolate has hardened, gently remove the nests from the parchment paper. Serve and enjoy!
