Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
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.
Stir the broken pretzel sticks into the melted chocolate until all pretzels are evenly coated.
Add in the mini marshmallows and gently mix to combine, ensuring the marshmallows are evenly distributed.
Scoop small portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet using a tablespoon or clean hands to form ‘nest’ shapes.
Press a small indent into the center of each nest to create space for the egg candies.
Place 2-3 mini chocolate or candy-coated Easter eggs into the center of each nest while the chocolate is still soft.
Allow the nests to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the chocolate has hardened, gently remove the nests from the parchment paper. Serve and enjoy!
