Crunch into these chocolate nests with macadamia “eggs” for an adorable dessert the whole family will love!

These candied coconut chocolate nests taste just like Almond Joys, minus the sugar and processed chocolate. Shredded coconut gets mixed with rich dark chocolate to make a crunchy nest filled with macadamia nut “eggs” for a healthy treat!

Melted coconut oil, antioxidant-rich cacao, and stevia create the smooth, keto-friendly chocolate egg nests. Tip: You can add raw honey or pure maple syrup to sweeten it up if you aren’t following a keto diet. Crunchy macadamia nuts are set inside the nests for a dose of healthy antioxidants and brain-boosting fats.

Start by melting coconut oil in a double boiler. Add raw cacao powder and stevia, stirring until smooth. Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and mix in the shredded coconut. Spoon the mixture evenly into six lined muffin tins, making a small divot in the center of each. Freeze the nests for ten minutes to set, then nestle two macadamia nuts inside each nest and serve.
