Instructions

Place the peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate in a large bowl and microwave together for 30 second intervals. Stir in between each interval, continuing until the mixture has become smooth.
½ cup peanut butter, 8 ounces semi sweet chocolate
Pour the Shredded Wheat into the chocolate mixture.
2 ½ cups Shredded Wheat cereal
Fold together until the cereal is completely coated.
Fill a muffin tin with cupcake liners, then place a heaping tablespoon full of the melted chocolate mixture into each cupcake liner.
Press a spoon into the center of the mixture to put a well in the middle and form the nest shape. This will create the space for your candy eggs.
Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 15 minutes.
While the nests are hardening, place some green food dye in a plastic bag and add the shredded coconut. Seal the bag and shake until all the coconut pieces are green.
Green food coloring, ½ cup shredded coconut
Once the chocolate nests have hardened, you can remove the cupcake liners.
Sprinkle a little of the coconut into each chocolate nest and place three Cadbury Mini Eggs on top of each to finish.
30 mini Cadbury Eggs

Notes

For best results, spray a bit of coconut oil or non-stick cooking spray on the inside of the cupcake liners. It will help to keep them from sticking to the nests when you remove them.
