Bird Nest Desserts! I found these on Pinterest, when I searched for “easy easter desserts”. My cooking skills are in the very beginning stages, so these no-bake, minimal ingredient desserts were right up my alley. I saw many variations of these bird nest desserts, so I just went with what I thought would taste the best.
My Steps:
1. I melted and mixed chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and creamy peanut butter together.
2. Broke the mini pretzel rods into smaller pieces and carefully stirred them into the chocolatey mixture.
3. Use a cupcake pan to make the nest shapes. IMPORTANT: With a stick of butter, thoroughly lather the cupcake pan. This supposedly helps to remove the nests when they are finished.
4.When the pretzels are covered in chocolate, I used a spoon to fill each cupcake spot, with the chocolate covered pretzel mix.
5. Put into the refridgerator for at least an hour.
6. Before serving, put a few peanut M&M’s in the middle of the nests. (Some recipes used Cadbury Mini Eggs or Jelly Beans).

I also love to make this veggie pizza for an appetizer. Thanks to Garnish and Glaze for the recipe! I’m a sucker for crescent rolls ;).
The round server is from Nora Fleming – the chick ornament is super cute for Easter and spring – you can change out the ornaments for all different holidays and occasions.
Happy Easter!
