These chocolate nests have been my go-to Easter treats for a few years now, and I must confess that I really love them. I stumbled upon a more complicated version of the recipe many years ago, one which required far more ingredients and time than I had at that point in my life. I’ve since tweaked and refashioned this little gem of a treat, which I now serve each and every year. Using only five ingredients and a no-bake recipe, this is almost the perfect treat for any time-crunched Mom during the spring holiday season.
Ideal for a classroom or preschool party, these treats also make lovely gifts for friends and family when placed in a cellophane bag and tied with ribbon. I’m sending these to school with one of my boys this year, but I’m also working on a new delicacy, which will make use of all those homemade marshmallows I’ve been making.

I made these little pudding pots for my kids this past weekend, and they couldn’t have been more thrilled with the outcome. A simple stove-top chocolate pudding, lightly infused with a little peppermint extract, makes for a perfectly easy dessert that even the littlest of kids can help prepare.
Place the pudding in a small glass vessel, cover with a sprinkling of chocolate cookie crumbs, then insert a sprig of mint to create a little spring garden. The green garnish makes this a completely acceptable St. Patrick’s Day snack, and slightly different than the heavily tinted green foods typically on offer that day.
