Speckled Egg Pretzel Nest

[ad#Google Adsense]

Don’t you just love Easter? Its a time for renewal, Spring dreaming, and tasty treats.  This recipe was borrowed from Bright Ideas and was so easy to make.   The saltiness from the pretzels and the sweetness of the chocolate make the perfect flavor combination.  The kiddos enjoyed helping create the little nests and adding the peanut M&Ms. I’m planning on taking some more time out this holiday away from all the hustle to appreciate Spring,  the beauty of nature, and building memories.   I hope you do too.
