ust my take on a favorite recipe!! There are so many out there but this is the way I like to make them!! When I made this today I yielded 6 large muffin tins, 6 small, and two left over "hand formed" nests. ;) Total of 14 assorted sizes - depends on your pans what you will yield. Cook time is chill time.

    Remove from heat and place upper portion on a folded towel to allow cooling while you prepare tins.
  • 5
    Spray muffin tins (I liked the large size best, but make both for varied sizes) with cooking spray (such as Pam).
  • 6
    Spoon generous amount of mixture into each cup creating a well in the center as you go.
  • 7
    Continue until all of mixture is used up.
  • 8
    Place jelly beans, M&M's Peeps or other candies for garnish as desired.
  • 9
    Chill in refridgerator for at least 1 hour or until chocolate has hardened.
