These chocolate bird nests cookies are such a delightful little Easter treat — one my whole family loves!

No-Bake – a no bake treat is always an easy, fun treat to make (especially with your kids!)
Delicious Flavor – I mean, can you ever go wrong with the chocolate peanut butter combination?
Four Ingredients – so much simplicity with these treats!
Higher Fiber – I use a high fiber cereal for the birds nest “twigs” to help add a boost of fiber and nutrients, giving 5 grams of fiber per no bake cookie.

High Fiber Cereal – I use Fiber One Original cereal here, but you can substitute a similar “twiggy” cereal.
Chocolate – I like semisweet or dark chocolate chips in this recipe, but you can use milk chocolate if you prefer (or even white chocolate).
Peanut butter – you want to use a creamy peanut butter, and you can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter, too.
Cadbury mini eggs – these delicious little mini eggs are arranged on top of the no bake cookies to make the eggs on the birds nest.

Tips and Variations

Nut-Free chocolate egg cookies are easily made by using sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
Add hemp hearts to the chocolate cereal mixture for another boost of nutrition, adding a little protein and healthy fats.
Use a silicone muffin pan to press the chocolate cereal mixture into instead.
Reduce added sugar by using a no added sugar chocolate and peanut butter.
