Cacao Bird Nest - Final Product 2

As for the preparation, a simple muffin tin will do the job. However, the best idea is to use a silicone muffin tin because it’s much easier to remove the nests once they’re chilled. If you’re using your regular muffin tin, make sure to generously coat them with cooking spray or simply line them with paper liners which will help you to get the nests out of the tin. Have fun and Happy Easter!
