Steps:
- I've estimated the bag size but you want to have approximately equal amounts of each ingredient.
- Spread the shredded coconut in a baking pan and toast in the oven at 400° until a shade darker than golden brown (maybe 5 minutes or so I think- I never time it, just go by the color really.) Melt chocolate chips in microwave, stirring occasionally until melted.
- (Don't over cook these or the chocolate will burn and become permanently solid) Stir coconut and chocolate together until all coconut is covered.
- Drop by small spoonfuls onto wax paper and refrigerate until solid.
- --I don't like semisweet chocolate in this recipe.
- Milk or dark chocolate tastes better in my opinion, but use whatever you like.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT NESTS
These nests look and taste fancy but have only three ingredients. They've been very popular with our girls and their friends over the years. You can substitute any flavor ice cream for the mint chocolate chip.-Claire Hudson, South Wales, New York

Steps:
- 1. Mix coconut, flour and eggs in a bowl. Butter a baking pan and shape nests to the desired width.
- 2. Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure that nests do not burn. It may take a bit longer, but they can burn fast, so start with 15 minutes and go from there.
- 3. When done, cool nests and fill with your favorite candy and treats. I put a bit of frosting in the bottom of the nests to secure the 'eggs'.
- 4. I use these to decorate my Easter cakehttps://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/cake/easter-cake-2.html
