PEEPS & COMPANY® challenged ChiIL Mama to design a unique Easter basket, that would playfully display all the tasty treats they sent us. So we bought an adorable PEEPS & COMPANY® bunny bucket at our local Walgreens and multicolored, paper Easter grass to match. Do we know how to rock a theme or what?! I could see this PEEPS & COMPANY® bunny bucket having fun adventures with little ones in the garden this spring, the beach, and beyond, instead of being stored away with the Easter decor!



Peeptacular Toasted Coconut Nests
An original recipe by ChiIL Mama
(makes a dozen nests)

This Easter favorite is simple to DIY and it's extra tasty with PEEPS & COMPANY® jelly beans. 

 

Hot Tamales and Mike and Ike Jelly Beans by PEEPS & COMPANY® 
1 (11.5 oz.) bag of milk chocolate baking chips
2 cups shredded coconut 
1 tablespoon butter
Parchment paper or wax paper

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray and spread coconut in a thin layer. Coconut spray is a healthy alternative that goes great with these treats. Preheat oven to 350°. Place in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until coconut is light brown. Keep an eye on it toward the end of your toasting time and stir it a bit if necessary. Remove from the oven.

Line counter with parchment or wax paper in a square big enough for 10-12 nests. Melt chocolate chips and tablespoon of butter in a microwave safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds till melted. Do not over cook. Remove from microwave.

Mix toasted coconut into chocolate mixture and spoon onto the parchment or wax paper. Shape it into a nest and press in on the center. Shape and add MIKE AND IKE® jelly beans and/or HOT TAMALES® cinnamon jelly beans (our favorite!!) once all the nests are on your paper. Let them cool down and enjoy!


This was such a tempting treat, I left them to cool down and all the nests vanished before I could snap a shot!  Somehow I don't think the Easter Bunny snuck them into a sack for delivery Sunday. I'm going to try to make more today and get my photo shoot in before the kids appear and these all too tasty nests disappear.




EASTER'S FOR EATING ALL THE PEEPS!!
