How are you feeling about the fact it's spring and easter and you get to eat all the chocolatey goodness?
Well, I'll tell you, I FEEL GOOD!!!
This easter I planned to make cheesecake nests and easter rocky road (the sound of that already makes me want to have a couple of these)
And let me say, I do like to go out on seasonal things, so this year was no different.
They are so easy to make and normally nothing can go wrong if you're not a master in baking.
I'm really happy with how they turned out and they look so cute on your easter table.
I loved to make these and my family is munchin away on them as well (which means they are really good).
Have a splendid sunny Easter!

I've put 4 of mine into cupcake cases with chicken legs as it gives it that extra easter touch, HOW CUTE DOES THAT LOOK?
