Chocolate Nests for Easter
This is a lovely way to give your Easter guests a treat or favor to go home with and it’s as simple as it is special. The recipe below is from Kraft and I love the addition of butterscotch to the chocolate mix. I use a non-stick muffin tin because I don’t have enough custard cups – this may work better for you too. Once they are done, you can fill the nests will almost anything. Jelly beans will be my choice this year. You can use these to decorate each place setting at your table or put them out on a tray for your guests to enjoy with dessert or on the ride home.
