Easter Egg Nest Candy

We have not tried this one, but it sounds fun. Instead of a coconut mixture, I have used rice krispie treats.

3 drops green food coloring

1/2 tsp. milk

1 1/3 c. flaked coconut

6 oz. white confectioners coating

~In small bowl, mix food coloring with milk; add coconut and mix until evenly tinted; set aside.

~Melt confectioners coating over a double boiler or in a microwave, stirring until smooth. Mix with coconut mixture and place by spoonfuls on waxed paper. Shape mixture like a bird's nest, making a slight indentation in the center of each one.

~Cool slightly and decorate by placing candy eggs in each nest.

See you tomorrow....the "recipe a day" challenge continues!
