Easy No-Bake Easter Treats Bird’s Nest

It’s no secret around here than I have a love affair with chocolate.  I love chocolate in pretty much any shape or form.  No-bake cookies are some of my favorites when it comes to chocolate in cookies though.  And really, why wouldn’t you love a cookie that you don’t have to spend the better part of an hour baking?  With Easter coming up and Spring trying it’s darnedest to put Old Man Winter aside, I thought I’d make some fun, no-bake Easter treats.  Chocolate always makes me happy, especially when you add Cadbury mini eggs to the mix too.  I am pretty much floating on clouds, or in a river of chocolate.  Either one sounds nice…

Easy No-Bake Bird's Nest Easter Treats

Prep time:  15 mins

Cook time:  7 mins

Total time:  22 mins

Serves: About 12 cookies

Ingredients
  • 1 cube butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ½ cups milk
  • 6 Tbsp cocoa
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy, your choice)
  • 3 cups quick oats
  • Peeps Marshmallow Chicks (I used yellow, but blue ones would be really pretty too!)
  • Cadbury Mini Eggs
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter, sugar, milk, cocoa, and salt together. Bring to a roiling boil and boil for 2 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat. Add peanut butter and mix until peanut butter is thoroughly combined.
  3. Stir in quick oats a cup at a time. Mix until evenly coated by the chocolate mixture.
  4. Drop approximately 2 inch balls onto wax paper. Let cool to the touch and then use your fingers to poke down the middle and shape the cookies into a nest shape. You don't want perfect, nests are messy! The less you can touch the cookies the better. Place Cadbury Mini Eggs in the nests and top with a Peep Chick
  5. Let the cookies cool and set completely, usually between 1 and 2 hours. Serve.
  6. No Bake Chocolate Nest Easter Cookies

I think these no bake Easter treats would be super fun (and edible!) table decor or place cards for your big Easter Sunday meal.  Tie a small piece of paper around the Bird’s neck with the seating assignments written on it.  Cute and delicious!

No Bake Easter Cookies

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
