The title today is a quote from a great movie classic. Anyone care to take a guess? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller... Bueller...
So I guess late is better than never and I didn't want to wait until next year to post these adorable Easter treats that would be perfect to make for a party/get together and the kids can help!
I also forgot to take an ingredient photo (you may notice in posts to come that it has been slipping my mind lately), but here is the shopping list.
Shopping List:
1 bag pretzel sticks (check out Kroger brand, always $1.00)
1 package white chocolate bark (found in the baking section)
1 package M&Ms/egg candies/jelly beans/etc...
PEEEEEEPS!!!
Directions:
-Melt chocolate according to directions in microwave or double boiler. Usually I put about half the package in a bowl and microwave for 30 second intervals at HALF POWER, stirring in between until the chocolate is melted. This can be tricky, because if the chocolate gets too hot or is heated too fast, it will glob up and be unusable!
-Dip pretzels in chocolate and arrange on waxed paper or foil in a 'nest'. I used about 6-8 pretzels in each nest and just stacked them on top of each other. You can choose to dip pretzels one at a time or just throw a handful in and fish them out as needed like I did!
-Once the nests are dried/set (pop them in the fridge if you want to speed up the process a bit), dip the bottom of each peep in a bit of chocolate and place one on each nest. Then do the same with a few of your chosen candies to act as eggs. Let them set and you are ready to go!

Finished Birds!
I think this entire process only took about half an hour or so and who doesn't love chocolate, pretzels, and peeps! I do believe they have Peeps Brand marshmallow candies for every holiday now, so be creative and try and come up with some for Halloween and Christmas!
Happy Eating!
