Make These Easy Bird’s Nest Cookies (No-Bake Recipe)

Last updated on February 28th, 2025 at 10:26 pm

Ready for a fun and easy recipe? You’ll love these no-bake bird’s nest cookies. These are the perfect sweet treat to make for spring or to celebrate Easter — and your kids will love to help!

Use pastel-colored candies for the “eggs” at Easter or spring time (or use candy bunnies or chicks). You can even make them for other seasons and holidays by just using the color of candies that match the occasion! 

It only takes a few ingredients to make these simple bird’s nest cookies. 

First, mix toasted coconut with caramel, and shape into these little “nests.” 

A dollop of Nutella will make sure your candy eggs stay in their nests. Then add your candy eggs. How cute is that?

Let us know how these turned out for you.

• Place a small dab of Nutella on top before placing eggs to allow them to stick (candy chicks work too).
