HAPPY GLUTEN-FREE EASTER

Happy Easter! Here is an easy recipe for a simple, yet delicious gluten-free Easter treat....macaroon birds' nests.

You will need:

1- 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1- bag shredded coconut (about 12 ounces)
1- bag pastel peanut M & M's
Food coloring optional (you can add a few drops to make the coconut brown)

In medium sized mixing bowl, thoroughly mix all the ingredients minus candy. Drop by spoonful onto a greased cookie sheet (should fit about twelve macaroons at a time). This will be your bird's nest. Bake on 375 degrees for about ten minutes, or until coconut is lightly browned and edges are getting slightly crisp. When done baking, let them set up for about two minutes before removing them from cookie sheet to cool on either wax paper or a plate. Let macaroons set up and cool for about 10 minutes, then lightly push a few pieces of candy into the center of the macaroon. And there you have your Spring nest and eggs. This dessert is cute, easy, and delicious...what more can you ask for when it comes to a gluten-free treat for Easter.
