- • Easter chocolate eggs — 20 (at least)
Instructions
- Line 2 to 3 baking trays with parchment or wax paper.

- Then add the coconut oil and mix it in until it melts.
- Add the shredded coconut and mix until all the coconut is covered in chocolate.
- Now, with a spoon or cookie scoop, place the cookie mixture onto the parchment paper. Repeat the process until you run out of the cookie mixture.
- Place the egg(s) in the center of the cookies to make the cookie look like the nest. You may need to gently press the eggs into the cookie.
- Let the cookies cool completely and the chocolate solidify. This process may take somewhere between 2 to 3 hours.
