Materials:
- 2 Chocolate Bars
-1 Handful of Pretzel Sticks

Make Chocolate Pretzel Nest:

Step 1: Melt Chocolate
Do this first before bringing the kids in. Break-up the chocolate bars and heat it until the chocolate is well melted.ß

Step2: Coat the Pretzels
Have your child add the pretzels to the chocolate. Stir in until covered. Use tongs or a fork to place coated pretzels on wax paper. Cool in your fridge or freezer to speed the process. Don't worry if not fully coated.

Step 3: Build the Nest
Use the cooled pretzels and stack them into a circle on another piece of wax paper. Keep adding one at a time to build up the nest. Drizzle remaining melted chocolate to coat and hold the nest together. Return to the Fridge for an hour.

Step 4: Decorate
After the Chocolate has cooled, place nests on a plate and fill them with jelly beans and chocolate eggs. Top off with a little Peep.

Step 5: Enjoy your spring!
