What about a Chocolate Easter Egg nest made of crunchy noodles, honey and shredded coconut? Yum, even my non eater was hanging around when these were being made… and he doesn’t usually have a sweet tooth. The boy exists on air only usually!

These are so simple and make a unique Easter gift. My little Easter Egg nests are going to the neighbours, and the children’s school bus driver.

I also thought one giant Easter Egg nest would make a great centre-piece on the table over the Easter period if the weather isn’t too hot. Having chocolate out of the fridge is still a little “touch and go” here at the moment.

I really enjoy making things for people, and I love that this is easy enough for the kids to help make and decorate.  When the kids are on Easter break we will go into production.
