Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spread your coconut onto a non-stick baking sheet. Place it into the oven for 7 minutes, stir, cook for a remaining 2 minutes until most of the coconut has browned.
- Set up all your mini cupcake liners, M&M's and Twizzlers so that your baskets will be ready to assemble. Cut your Twizzlers into 3" pieces and separate them into individual strands.
- Next, temper your chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals until all the chocolate is mostly melted. Add the coconut and 2 drops of green food coloring and stir until it is combined.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into each liner and then you'll drop your 'eggs' into the basket.
- Next take your Twizzlers and bend it around so that it creates the handle. Hold it until it is set.
Notes
I have found it's easier to use a mini muffin tin when forming these. It gives stability to the liners and won't cause the handles to fall over. For more tips on tempering your chocolate, visit http://frenchiewraps.com/matchstick-valentines-free-printable
