Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Melt the Chocolate

• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.

2️⃣ Coat the Pretzels

• Add the pretzels to the melted chocolate and toss until fully coated.

3️⃣ Shape the Nests

• Using a spoon, scoop small mounds of the chocolate-coated pretzels onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your fingers or the back of the spoon to shape them into nest-like circles with a slight indentation in the center.

4️⃣ Add the Candy Eggs

• While the chocolate is still wet, place 2-3 candy eggs in the center of each nest.

5️⃣ Optional Drizzle

• Melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle over the nests for added decoration.

6️⃣ Let Them Set

• Allow the nests to cool and harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

7️⃣ Serve and Enjoy

• Arrange the nests on a platter and serve as a sweet Easter treat.
