Easter Chocolate Nests
These Easter Chocolate Nest are an adorable treat to make with your kids. They are super cute, fun to make and very delicious. I used vermicelli rice with melted chocolate and molded around a muffin tin to make the nests - such a creative DIY craft idea for children with a fun treat to eat in the end.

Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp grapeseed oil
- 4 oz dried rice vermicelli noodles
- 2 oz semi sweet chocolate
- Chocolate Easter eggs
Instructions
- Heat the rapeseed oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Break the vermicelli rice noodles into smaller strands that will be easier to work with and then place in the skillet for about 2-4 minutes until they become shiny.
- Some will turn light golden brown and that is fine. Remove from the oil and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second increments for up to 1 minute and half, stirring in between, until completely smooth and melted.
- Place the cooked vermicelli into the bowl of chocolate and use your hands to gently toss the vermicelli with the chocolate until they are completely coated in chocolate.
- Line the opposite side of a muffin tin with silicone cups or plastic wrap and gently press the vermicelli mixture around the cup to create a nest-like shape
- Refrigerate until the mixture is set and firm, about 30 minutes.
- Place your favorite chocolate eggs inside and enjoy!
