Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray. You can also use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Mix the coconut with the sugar, egg whites, vanilla, and almond extract. Use a teaspoon to spoon mixture out evenly into 24 mini muffin tins. If you don't have a mini muffin tray, you can spoon out the mixture using a tablespoon onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use the back of the teaspoon to press down into the centre of each next to create a little well or nest.

Bake for 12 min, then turn off the oven and let the nests continue to set in the over for another 2min. Remove the nests from the oven and use the back of a teaspoon to press down the centre of the nests again. Remove nests from the muffin tin (or baking sheet) and allow to cool.

While nests are cooling, melt the chocolate chips. Use a small spoon to spoon the melted chocolate evenly onto the nests, then top each nest with 1-2 mini eggs.

Allow chocolate to cool and set before serving.
