Chocolate Birds Nest Cupcake Toppers

When looking for ideas for Catie's birthday party, I saw some adorable chocolate bird nests on a spoon made from dipping spoons in chocolate on the Cute Food for Kids site.I thought that these would be perfect cupcake toppers if I could make them without the plastic spoon.

1. Line cupcake molds with small pieces of parchment paper.
2. Place chocolate Candy Melts in a squirt bottle and set in warm water to melt.
3. Once melted, drizzle the chocolate into the bottom and sides of the cupcake molds.
4. Optional: sprinkle candy sprinkles over the top of the nests before adding the candy robin eggs.
5. Place in the refrigerator to harden the candy.
6. Once hardened, remove the nests from the molds and peel off the parchment paper.
7. Viola! a bird's nest cupcake topper!
