Toasted Coconut Birds Nests
- Category: Dessert
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups of unsweetened coconut flakes (go for the larger shreds)
- 1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon of coconut oil
- Easter candies of your choice
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread out your coconut on the tray and pop it in the oven for about 5-6 minutes to get it all toasty. Just keep an eye on it—coconut can go from golden to burnt real quick!
- Once your coconut is nice and toasty, let it cool down a bit. Meanwhile, grab a medium bowl and melt together your chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave. Heat them up in short 30-second bursts until they’re all smooth and melted.
- Now, pour that melted chocolate goodness over your toasted coconut and give it a good mix to coat everything evenly. Don’t worry if it looks a bit crumbly—that’s perfectly okay.
- Grab a cookie scoop and form 6-8 rounds out of the mixture. Gently press them down and add your Easter candies on top for that extra festive touch.
- Pop your treats into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until they’re nice and firm. And there you have it—adorable, no-bake Easter treats that are as fun to eat as they are to make! Enjoy!
