# Instructions:
01 -
Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and warm in 30-second bursts on low heat. Give it a good stir between each burst until melted and smooth as silk.

While the chocolate's still warm, quickly fold in the peanut butter until you have a glossy, unified mixture.
03 -
Pour your chocolate-peanut butter blend over the Rice Krispies in a large bowl. Gently fold until every piece of cereal is coated in the chocolatey goodness.
04 -
Lightly coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing lightly to fill each one completely.
06 -
Using the back of a rounded spoon, gently press an indent in the middle of each portion to create a cozy nest shape.
07 -
Pop the muffin tin in the refrigerator or freezer until the nests are firm to the touch.

Once set, carefully nestle three candy eggs in each indent. Your adorable chocolate bird nests are ready to serve!
