Brownie Nests are individual brownie bites topped with chocolate and eggs candy as a nest, make the perfect sweet treat for a spring or Easter celebration!

These Brownie Nests are so much fun for spring. The kids absolutely loved
them! I love that they are such a simple treat. They are a great dessert for feeding
your friends and family this Easter.
Why this Recipe Works?
Brownie bites are dense, chocolate brownie bites that are like the edge of a brownie with a soft, fudgy middle. So easy and so good!
Brownie recipes are numerous and plentiful. So, why pick this one? What makes my Brownies the recipe you should choose?
These brownie bites are moist, gooey and perfectly sized for individual treats. They are the perfect fudgy brownie, all in one bite! You want crispy edges, fudgy centers, and a rich, decadent chocolate flavor. Now imagine all of that in one bite size brownie.

How to Make Brownie Nests?
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, and baking powder.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
• Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula to combine.
• Fill the prepared mini muffin tin a one tablespoon measurement of the batter, DO NOT overfill the muffin hole.
• Bake 18-20 minutes.
• Remove from oven and allow the brownies to sit in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on a cooling rack.
To make Chocolate Ganache:
• In a medium glass bowl add chopped chocolate, set aside
• In a small saucepan, heat the cream until it begins to simmer
• Remove from heat and pour over the top of the chocolate in the bowl
• Allow to sit 3-4 minutes, then whisk until smooth
• Once the Chocolate Ganache has the right consistency, dip the top of the brownie into the chocolate and lightly shake off the excess.
• Place dipped brownie onto a plate and top with sprinkles and add 3 eggs of each brownie

I like to use jellybeans eggs for the top but Cadbury mini eggs, M&M’s, and Whoppers malted milk robin eggs work just as well. You can also make a few of your nests with a Peep marshmallow bird on top
How to Store Brownie Nests?
You can store brownie nests in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days
Happy Easter lovely blog friends. Enjoy!
