Chocolate Easter Nests

These are really fun to make, and my kids just loved them. Chauncey was a great assistant, he put the Cadbury eggs in the nests! The kids liked the Cadbury eggs better than the little malted ones that I used yesterday. I like these cookies, they are so fast and easy to make, and I always have the ingredients on hand.

Chocolate Nests

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups quick oatmeal
1 bag Cadbury milk chocolate eggs

In a medium pan heat the milk, sugar, butter and cocoa. Cook and stir until it boils, then cook and stir for 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and add the oatmeal and vanilla. Stir well. Drop onto a cookie sheet with a cookie scoop. Snuggle 2-3 Cadbury eggs in the middle, this is where the assistant is handy.
