I’m Hungry: Springtime Nests

These easy little nest eggs are one of our favourite Springtime treats to make with the kids.  They look adorable on a little cake stand or a brightly coloured plate.

Ingredients: 

 – 2 cups sugar

 – 3 tbsp cocoa

 – ½ cup milk

 – 1 tsp vanilla

 – 2/3 cup butter

 – 3 cups rolled oats

 – 1 cup coconut

 – Mini eggs

To Prepare: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa and milk.   Let boil for 5½ minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and add vanilla, butter, rolled oats, and coconut.  Let cool slightly then press into sides and bottom of mini-muffin baking tins to resemble a nest shape. Add three eggs to each nest.  Let cool completely to harden nests.

Just in time for Easter.  Yum!
