I'm domestic, today

Well, I'm domestic everyday. I wash dishes, fold laundry and manage to get a healthy meal on the table  but creativity is usually lacking in my domestic description.

I do love to bake. It's fun to bake with the girls and it feels like there is more room to be creative.

Look what we're taking to Easter dinner...... little Chocolate Nests and colorful eggs.

 

 

They're  easy as pie to make ( well easier then pie!)

 

There are many versions to this little creation but here's what we did.

We used rice noodles and stick pretzels. This gave it a real nest look.

*cook rice noodles ( kids love to watch them grow when they hit the oil!)

*place cooked rice noodles in melted baking chocolate. ( we bought ours at a local bake shop)

* add in broken stick pretzels- fold

* scoop out about 2 large spoonfuls onto foil.

* Design your nest. Make small holes for chocolate eggs. Then add your little candy eggs to the nest.

*The chocolate will harden in about 20 minutes.

You're done!!!! This tastes great too. Rice noodles have very little taste so the Nest tastes pretty much like chocolate with pretzel crunch!!!

 

Show up at Easter dinner or any other party and it will look like you are creative in the kitchen. Shhh..I won't tell anyone your 3 year old could do this....mine did!

 

Happy Passover and Easter Sunday~~
