Every year, I make coconut macaroon nests for Easter. I make Coconut Macaroon Nutella Nests and Coconut Lemon Macaroon Nests. I can never pick a favorite, so I just make them both. Well, this year I am making a new nest cookie because Caleb informed me that he doesn’t like coconut anymore, even though he just devoured a stack of Toasted Coconut Pancakes. Kids:) I am kind of glad Caleb is hating on coconut right now because it forced me to make No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Nest Cookies. I love my coconut nests, but I am crushing on these chocolate peanut butter nests BIG TIME!
No-bake cookies have always been one of my favorite cookies. They come together in minutes and the chocolate peanut butter combo is pretty much the best thing ever. I used my favorite no-bake cookie recipe, but instead of doing the plain old cookie drops, I made nests! I use pretzels in my no-bake cookies, which made the nests even better because they looked like little sticks.
The nests were easy to form and it was actually kind of fun…therapeutic even. I think the chocolate peanut butter aroma was very soothing, my kind of stress management:)
I added little chocolate pastel eggs to the nests when they were dried and showed them to Caleb. He LOVED the nests. He said they were perfect because they are the same color as real birdie’s nests…and they didn’t have any coconut. Ha! And how did they taste? Amazing…did you even need to ask? Chocolate peanut butter no-bakes with chocolate candy eggs? Yassssss! These No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Nests are perfect for spring and Easter. They would be a super cute addition to your Easter brunch or dessert table…or you could put a nest at each place setting on your dinner table. How Martha Stewart is that? So fun! Enjoy!
