How to Make Easter Nest Brownie Bites 

Full steps on how to make this brownie bites recipe is in the printable recipe card. This is a visual walk through on how to make for readers. 

Step One: Preheat the oven and prep you mini muffin tin. Then in a bowl you will prepare your brownie mix as directed on the box. 

Step Two: Pour into the mini muffin tin and bake as directed and let them cool completely. This is key or they will not come out of pan, and the frosting will melt if warm. 

Step Three: For the frosting you will mix in the marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, and mix to reach your desired consistency. Then you will add to a piping bag. 

Step Four: Then you will swirl on the frosting, top with green colored coconut, and then top with candy eggs.  

Variations To Recipe

• Instead of brownies you can swap with cookie dough. Store bought cookie dough works from chocolate chip to even a sugar cookie. 
• If you don’t want to make homemade frosting feel free to swap with a canned frosting. Then just color it green. 
• Use jelly beans in replace of the chocolate candies on top if you want. 
• You can leave off the coconut if you are not a fan of coconut. We love coconut in our home. 

How To Store Leftovers 

These brownies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or store in the fridge. I find that the room temperature keeps the brownies soft, where it will be more chewy if you store in the fridge. 


Freezing Brownie Bites – You can also freeze any brownie bites you do not eat right away. Store in a freezer container for 2-3 months. Thaw on the counter for around an hour then serve. 

Can I Make These Ahead of Time? 

You can make these brownie bites a day in advance if you would like. Make the night before you plan to serve them up. I wouldn’t go over 24 hours or so, as it will begin to dry out the brownies.
