Chocolate Nest Treats without Chow Mein Noodles
Yes! Of course!
These are rather healthier as I have skipped Chow Mein Noodles and even Rice Krispis and used Rolled Oats and Shredded Coconut instead!
Oats and Coconut are really a match made in heaven!
White Chocolate Marshmallow Nests
Instead of regular Easter Nest desserts made with Dark Chocolate Chips and Butterscotch chips, I have used White Chocolate Chips here for a smoother and richer taste.
Also White Chocolates really taste great with Marshmallows.

Ingredients
- Rolled Oats and Shredded Coconut - This combination is seriously the best. Rolled Oats along with Shredded Coconut tastes incredibly nutty and it gets naturally sweet and sticky due to Coconut!
- White Chocolate & Marshmallows - I love to use Marshmallows along with White Chocolate. The chocolate makes the Marshmallow fluff incredibly creamy and even tastier!
- Candy Eggs - Easter desserts are the best because of these candy eggs. These can be easily found in all grocery stores around Easter.

FAQs

No, its totally optional. You can use Dark Chocolate Chips or White Chocolate Chips like I did.

Marshmallows helps the nest stick together. However if you have to replace Marshmallows, you can use peanut Butter or any Nut Butter like Almond or Cashew Butter if you're allergic.
