Here is a recipe for Chocolate Easter Nests that I got out of Farm Woman Magazine in April of 1986 sent in by Eleanor Rankin, from Enfield, Illinois

Chocolate Easter Nests
10 oz. milk chocolate
4 oz. sweet baking chocolate
1/2 cup coconut
2 cups crushed cornflakes
jelly beans

Place chocolate in large glass bowl. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes on High or until nearly melted. Stir. Add coconut and cornflakes. Stir to combine. Spoon onto waxed paper ( 1 round Tablesppon each); form into nests. Let stand until firm; fill with jelly beans. Yield: 20 nests.

I would take the mixture and spray with pam the outside of a soup bowl and form the nest around this. My kids really liked them done this way and it was an Easter treat for them. I hid them on Easter Sunday with their names on the next and they had to find them. My one daughter caught her sister eating hers and she wanted to know why she didn't eat her own and she said that she was saving it for later.
