Ingredients
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1/4 cup all purpose flour
36 TEENEE BEANEE jelly beans
12 yellow or pink PEEPS Chicks
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a baking sheet or line with parchment baking paper.
In a bowl, with an electric mixture on high speed, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla until pale and frothy, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the coconut and flour until well blended.
To make the nests, make 12 mounds of about 3 tablespoons batter each, placing them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Use a spoon to spread each mound into a 2 1/2-inch circle with a depression in the center.
Bake until the nests are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully press three jelly beans into the center of each nest. Use a spatula to transfer the nests to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the nests in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Top each nest with a Chick just before serving.
