Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Melt the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth, about 1-2 minutes total.
Add the pretzel sticks to the bowl of melted chocolate and gently toss to coat them completely.
On a lined baking sheet, form the chocolate-coated pretzels into nest shapes, making a slight indentation in each.
Place mini candy eggs or decorations into the center of each nest and sprinkle optional coconut or sprinkles as desired.
Chill the nests in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
