Ingredients

  • 1 lb 16 oz, white almond bark
  • 1 package 12 oz, pretzel sticks
  • 18-20 marshmallow peep chicks
  • 1 package egg shaped Easter candies

Instructions

  • Line 2-3 large baking sheets or cutting boards with wax paper and set aside.
  • Place pretzels into a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a separate, microwave safe bowl, add white almond bark. Microwave for 60 seconds at 100% power and mix well. Continue to microwave in 30 second increments until completely melted.
  • Set aside about ⅓ cup of melted almond bark by spooning it into a resealable sandwich bag. Set aside.
  • Pour remaining melted almond bark into the bowl with pretzels and stir well to evenly coat. Spoon a large dollop of coated pretzels onto prepared baking sheets creating a nest. The nest should be large enough to hold a marshmallow peep chick. Let stand to harden.
  • With reserved almond bark in the plastic bag, if hardened, add to the microwave and microwave 10-15 seconds, kneading well after until smooth. Snip the tip of the bag and pipe onto the bottom of the chick and place onto the nest. Add a small amount onto the nest and affix an egg candy. Repeat until all nests are full.
