Getting your spring desserts ready
Can you believe Easter is right around the corner? The colors, the family traditions, and Easter dinner. There are so many opportunities to cook with vibrant flavors and this easy dessert is one of my favorite things to make now. My husband loved the crunch and peanut butter taste. I have a feeling these cookies will be a yearly tradition in my home. They're easy-to-make. Exactly the type of dessert we love around here.
Ingredient's for these Easter Bird's Nest Cookies
There are only four main ingredients you need for this recipe and you can find them all at your local supermarket. You also need a muffin pan for this recipe but if you don't have one around, you can use muffin liners as a quick hack. Here's what you need for this recipe.
- semi-sweet chocolate chips
- creamy peanut butter
- chow mein noodles
- mini chocolate eggs
The key is to make sure the chocolate is properly melted before you add the cup of peanut butter. The peanut butter will mix into the melted chocolate perfectly with no hassle. I made sure to take it off the stovetop once the chocolate is melted so I don't ruin the chocolate. The coconut oil also helps the chocolate not stick to the saucepan so make sure to add that in!
