So, I have my chocolate eggs and bunnies ready, but I thought I'd put together a few other ideas for Chocolate Easter desserts--or for any Springtime celebration.Chocolate Nests. This is a wonderful recipe from Woman's Day. I particularly like this recipe because it's a mix of what else? sweet and sour. And, it looks so good. It takes 20 minutes to put together and 50 minutes to cook, and your friends and family will think you worked hours! Very artistic.
Ingredients:
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
2 cans (5 oz each) thin chow mein noodles
Fill with: egg-shaped Easter candies such as Jordan almonds
Preparation:
Planning Tip: The nests can be made up to 3 days before serving. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
Stephanie Jaworski on Joy of Baking has a yummy Chocolate Easter Cake suggestion. Take your favorite chocolate torte recipe (her recipe for the chocolate torte and the ganache is on the page) and cover it with a lovely smooth and shiny chocolate ganache and garnish with colorful sprinkles and candy. Make the torte a day ahead so it becomes dense and fudgy and doesn't break off.
Tyler Florence of the Food Network has lots of 'show-stopping" chocolate desserts for Easter, but this one caught my eye: Truffle tarts with Raspberries, and the "crust" is mad
e with chocolate wafers or oreo crumbs, and the filling consists of truffle cream. The recipe is simple!

my, my, you are SUCH an enabler, aren't you???
Might be able to skip the wax paper if you use silicon baking cups. I've had such good luck with those because they are easy to "peel" away from desserts. I use the individual ones, not the silicon muffin pan which is the more traditional looking baking pan. That would probably still work, but might be harder to get the "muffins of chocolate delight" out!
