Easter Cookie Nests

Of course I had to try making my pots of gold into Easter baskets. When I couldn’t get any kind of candy basket handle to stay up for more than five seconds I dubbed them nests. Let me know if you try these and find something that works. Possibly if the nests/baskets were dipped in chocolate then the chocolate would hold the handle in place… once it dries. That would mean having a lot of patience which I tend to have for writing novels but not cooking.

They’re a fun dessert for a party or an economical treat for a classroom of students. Teachers, two books that would go along with the theme of this spring treat would be Ugly, by Donna Jo Napoli and Presenting Tanya the Ugly Duckling by Patricia Lee Gauch.
