These adorable donuts look exactly like birds nests and are fun, EASY Easter treats to make with kids! Use your favorite candy to jazz things up.
Ingredients
  • Coconut crunch mini donuts (or any crumb coated donut hole/miniature donut)
  • 1-2 squares White Chocolate Candiquik
  • Cadbury Mini Eggs, Reese's Mini Eggs, Mini Whopper Eggs, or any other egg-shaped candy of your choosing
Instructions
  1. Melt the Candiquik according to package directions. If you're making around 24 miniature donut nests, I would only melt about 1-2 squares of the Candiquik -- just break it off and save the rest later. You can also melt the entire package, allow it to harden and reuse it later -- whichever is easiest for you.
  2. Using your thumb, make a small well/indentation in the center of the miniature donut, like where the hole is. This just helps the egg candies stick better.
  3. Dip the bottom of an egg candy into the white chocolate and gently press it into the indentation in the donut. Repeat with remaining candies and donuts. I used three eggs per donut, but do what you like best. Allow the donuts to sit for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden, before consuming.
