  • 3. Use a tablespoon to place spoonfuls of the mixture on a waxed paper lined baking dish

Time 30m

Yield about 30 nests

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup blanched almond slivers
10 ounces vanilla "make your own" almond bark
1 cup butterscotch chips
2 cups pretzel sticks, broken in half
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut chips (often found in the health food aisle)
1 cup candy-coated mini chocolate eggs (about 50)

Steps:

  • Heat a large, dry saute pan over medium heat. Add the almond slivers and toast, shaking the pan every minute, until they are fragrant and begin to darken in areas, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl according to package instructions. Stir in the butterscotch chips. Microwave another 30 seconds, and then stir until smooth.
  • Stir in the almonds, pretzels and coconut, coating evenly. Drop the mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, onto the prepared baking sheets. Nestle in 1 or 2 of the mini eggs. If the mixture starts to cool and become too firm to work with, microwave for 30 seconds and stir gently. Let the nests cool at room temperature until solid.
