Cooking Tips

• You can use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate if desired.
• Feel free to add chopped nuts or dried fruits to the mixture for added texture and flavor.
• If the mixture is too sticky to shape into nests, wet your hands with water or oil to prevent sticking.

Storage and Serving

• These nests are best served within a few days of making them to ensure the crispy texture.
• You can also package them in cellophane bags or gift boxes to give as gifts.
• Serve these nests as a fun and festive dessert at Easter parties or springtime gatherings.
