Easter Macaroons With Marshmallow Peeps
These sweet Easter macaroons look like nests for your Marshmallow Peeps chicks to sit in. They're sweet, fun to eat, and fun to make. Kids love them!
Ingredients
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 14 oz sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 dash almond extract
- 12 tsp Nutella
- 12 Marshmallow Peeps Chicks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Grease the bottom of a muffin tin as well, and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients, mixing well.
- Use a large cookie scoop to portion the coconut mixture. Using the bottom of a greased muffin tin, shape the coconut mixture around the cups to create a "nest." Place the coconut nests on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
- Move the coconut macaroons to a wire cooling rack, and let them cool completely. If some of the nests are misshapen, use your hands to reshape them while they're still a little warm.
- Once the macaroons are completely cooled, add about a teaspoon of Nutella and place your chick Peeps on top. Enjoy!
