Time 1h55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (15.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
1 ¼ cups water
½ cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 (10 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut
1 (16 ounce) can prepared chocolate frosting
1 cup egg-shaped chocolate candies (such as peanut M&Ms®), or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 cupcake cups with paper liners.
  • Beat cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer, on low speed until mixture is moistened, 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat until batter is smooth, 2 more minutes. Fill prepared cupcake cups about 2/3 full with batter.
  • Bake cupcakes in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 23 minutes. Remove cupcakes from oven and turn oven heat up to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Let cupcakes cool.
  • Spread coconut into a large, shallow baking pan or onto a baking sheet; toast in the hot oven until coconut is golden brown, about 7 minutes. Cool.
  • Cut a piece out of the top of each cupcake to leave a hollow depression about 1/2 inch deep and 1 1/2 inches across. Discard cut-out portions. Frost cupcakes with chocolate frosting and cover frosting with toasted coconut. Place 3 egg-shaped candies in the small depression on top of each cupcake.

These nests were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but these nests were still really good. I'll definitely be making them again.

These nests were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.
