Hey! Tomorrow is Easter!!!
I’m betting this slipped your minds.
I mean, it’s not like the stores have chocolate coated, pastel aisles or anything.
Remember when there were chocolate bunnies, Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs, Cadbury Eggs, and Jelly Beans?
A small section of one aisle contained the above plus some Easter Baskets and some of that creepy green grass. (You know it’s creepy- and my cat likes to eat it. He’s creepy too).

Holy Consumerism, Easter Bunny! Now there are about 4 aisles chock full of stuff that no kid needs, but every kid wants!
I will admit, I do enjoy trolling the Holiday sections at the store. I’m usually looking for candy and items good for baking.

Shocking, I know right?
Anyway.. it is far, far too wet around here to have a Easter Egg Hunt. We’ve had a deluge of rain in the past weeks.

And of course, the ones hunting the eggs would also be far to old to do so (17, 15, and 14), with the exception of my 8 year old nephew, that is. But don’t tell them that. They like to hunt eggs.
Who can blame them? It’s good, clean fun. And always entertaining when we find that last egg, smashed, melted, and moldy in our yard in mid-July.
You know you find them too, don’t judge!
In the attempt to pull said teens away from the video gaming console, I’m having them spend 5 minutes making these.
I've seen the same made many times with chow mien noodles, but I choose pretzels.
Cause they taste better with chocolate. You know they do.

Chocolate Bird’s Nests.
Here's what you'll need:
a bag of thin pretzel sticks
melting chocolate (chocolate chips should work too!)
jelly beans
and, of course, Peeps.
Melt chocolate according to package instructions
Break pretzel sticks up
Toss into chocolate, using a fork to coat.
Arrange on parchment paper, non stick foil, or wax paper to resemble a bird’s nest. Add jelly beans. I used these pretty Starburst Crazy Beans.
Top with a cute lil Peep.
Allow to dry and you are done-zo!
Cute, easy, and tasty. What more can you ask for.
Totally adorable with tags for place cards too. You know, have your place card and eat it too?
That’s a common saying right? Right??
