Chocolate Walnut Easter Nests

Ingredients:

• 2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

• 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• Mini chocolate eggs (like Cadbury Mini Eggs or similar)

Instructions:

1. Melt the chocolate & peanut butter:
   In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.

2. Add the walnuts:
   Stir in the chopped walnuts and vanilla extract (if using) until the mixture is evenly coated and slightly thickened.

3. Shape the nests:
   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the paper and shape into little nests with a small indent in the center.

4. Top with chocolate eggs:
   While the nests are still soft, gently press 2–3 mini chocolate eggs into the center of each one.

5. Chill to set:
   Place the nests in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until firm.

6. Serve and enjoy!
   Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
