These are so cute! They look like a little bird's egg(s) in a nest! My grandchildren love to make these with me. It is a fun Easter project to do with small children a few days before Easter to keep them busy. The kids like to make these and bring them to school for a treat. Play With Your Food! xo

How To Make easter egg in a nest !

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place parchment paper on baking sheet.
  • 2
    Unwrap the Hershey's Kisses and set aside until needed.
  • 3
    Put the pretzels on the baking sheet leaving a minimal amount of space between them (you can put quite a few on a baking sheet).
  • 4
    Put one Hershey's Kiss in the center of each pretzel.
  • 5
    Put baking sheet of prepared pretzels into the oven for about 4 - 6 minutes.
  • 6
    Remove the baking sheet from oven, put two M & M candy on each Hershey's Kiss with the writing side down, or one egg shaped Reeses Pieces. Gently press the M & M or Reeses Pieces down to "seat it into the chocolate and to press the chocolate into the pretzel.
  • 7
    Put the baking sheet into the freezer for a few minutes to "set" the chocolate. Once the candies are "set" you can remove them from the parchment and put in airtight container or zipper bags.
