Description

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Nests are a quick, no-bake treat that pairs salty pretzels with glossy melted chocolate to form adorable nest shapes. Filled with pastel candy eggs, they make a charming Easter or spring dessert. Ready in minutes and kid-friendly to assemble, these nests store well in the fridge for make-ahead entertaining and wipe-clean sharing on festive dessert tables. They’re fun to customize with extra toppings or seasonal colors for gifts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mini pretzel sticks, lightly crushed
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter
  • 1 cup pastel candy-coated chocolate eggs
  • Optional: shredded coconut tinted green for grass effect

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Gently fold the crushed pretzels into the melted chocolate until evenly coated.
  4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Using the back of a spoon, shape each mound into a nest by creating a small indentation in the center.
  6. If using, sprinkle a little green-tinted coconut into the center for a grass look.
  7. While the chocolate is still soft, place 2–3 candy eggs in the center of each nest.
  8. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until fully set.
  9. Once firm, gently remove from parchment and serve.

Notes

  • Chilling time helps set the nests firmly; you can speed this with a quick freezer chill.
  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized nests.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Swap in white chocolate or mix of chocolates for color variation.
