How to Make Easter Egg Nests

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Using a spoon, create small nests on the prepared baking sheet. Each nest should be about 2-3 inches in diameter.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Once cooled, fill each nest with your favorite Jelly Belly jelly beans.
  8. For extra decoration, place a few extra jelly beans on the serving plate as garnish.
  9. Serve and enjoy your sweet Easter Egg Nests!
