Easter Chocolate Crackle Nests are super fun to make and incredibly creative. The kids love making them! They also taste so good!

Ingredients:

4 cups rice bubbles
1 cup icing sugar (sifted)
1 cup dessicated coconut
5 tablespoons cocoa powder (sifted)
250 grams Copha, melted

Mix all ingredients together & spoon into patty pans (or use un-greased silicone muffin cups for easier removal). Using the back of a spoon press the mixture down in the middle and up along the sides, forming a nest. Allow to harden. Using a knife, loosen the edges and gently pop out the nests. Easter.

To decorate: sprinkle with coconut and fill with mini eggs.

Makes: 10 large

Recipe Hints and Tips:

Store covered at room temperature for up to two days.
Nests can be frozen un-decorated.
For a super cute alternative you could form these in mini muffin cups.
If you would like to tint the coconut a certain color simply place it in a resealable plastic bag along with a few drops of food coloring. Massage and shake until evening distributed.
You could use jelly beans or chocolate covered almonds for a different variety of eggs.
