These low carb Choconut Candies are perfect for Easter. Gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free and egg-free they are a healthier choice to celebrate with during the spring season.
Combine the nest ingredients and pack into 6 mini muffin tin holes. Hollow out a dip in the center of each tin with your thumb to create a nest shape. Freeze until firm but not frozen solid.
Combine the chocolate filling ingredients. Pour a little into the hollow of each nest. Freeze again. You'll have some chocolate left over, so freeze it by itself if you like or use for something else.
Before the chocolate is totally hard, press your nuts of choice into the top of it. If using unsalted nuts (or even if your nuts are salted), sprinkling a little sea salt on the top of the candies would be nice as well.
Freeze until firm. Store in freezer. Enjoy! Yields 6 candies.
If you don't have finely-shredded unsweetened coconut flakes, feel free to substitute regular unsweetened coconut flakes. The nests may not hold together quite as well, though.
