How to Make Easter Egg Nests

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
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.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a spoon, create small nests on the prepared baking sheet. Each nest should be about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, fill each nest with your favorite Jelly Belly jelly beans.
For extra decoration, place a few extra jelly beans on the serving plate as garnish.
Serve and enjoy your sweet Easter Egg Nests!
