Growing up, my mom use to always make these Birds Nests for Easter. They were such a treat and I looked forward to them every year!
This year I decided to make my own with a healthier twist. I added peanut butter for some extra protein, and swapped out the chow mein noodles for gluten-free pretzels, candy eggs for raspberries, and milk chocolate for dark chocolate. The kids still loved them!
Healthier Birds Nests
This is an easy treat to make with the kids. Chocolate peanut butter pretzels and raspberries is a delicious combination.
Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate
- 1 3/4 cup pretzel sticks broken into pieces smaller than 1/2 inch
- 30 raspberries
Instructions
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Add chocolate and peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Add the pretzel pieces and stir until completely coated. Drop 1/4 cup at a time onto the baking sheet. Gently mold into a nest shape.
- Place the baking sheet in the fridge for 15 minutesk or until the chocolate hardens. Once the nests have set, remove from the parchment paper and fill with raspberries. Enjoy!
