Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups oats or old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup pretzels chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate candies Easter egg shaped
- Note-you can make these gluten-free by using gluten-free oats and pretzels!
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add milk, sugar, and cocoa and stir to combine while bringing to a boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat. Add in peanut butter and vanilla, and stir until smooth. Stir in oats, chopped pretzels, and salt.
- Drop mixture by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and form into bird nest shapes. Press down the center with your thumb so there will be a place for the candies. Let the nests cool completely. Place egg candies in the center of the nests. Serve.
- Note-you can store the nests on in an air-tight container on the counter for up to 4 days. Add the egg candies when you are ready to serve.
