Instructions

Make Fro Yo Eggs

In a medium-size bowl, combine yogurt and honey. Use an electric hand mixer to ensure the thick honey fully mixes in.
Separate yogurt into three small bowls and use India Tree food coloring to make your three Easter colors of choice.
Use a small spoon to fill a small egg candy mold with the colored yogurt. When all eggs are filled, place in the freezer for at least 3 hours until yogurt is fully frozen.
*See note.

Make Chocolate Nests

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread shredded coconut in an even layer on the baking sheet.
Once oven is heated, bake the coconut for four minutes until golden-brown.
For the chocolate, heat baker's chocolate and butter in a double-boiler on low heat, stirring occasionally, until completely melted. Remove from heat and let sit for five minutes.
Once chocolate has cooled slightly, add in honey and mix thoroughly until fully combined.
Using a silicone mini muffin mold, spoon chocolate into twelve molds. Each one should be about half full. Use the back of the spoon to push the chocolate up the sides of the muffin cups, creating a sort of bowl.
Take small handfuls of the toasted coconut shreds and drop them into the chocolate cups. Use as much as you think looks good but don't overfill.
Use extra coconut for decoration when serving.
Place the chocolate nests in the freezer.
Once yogurt eggs have completely frozen, pop them out and place one or two on each chocolate nest.
Store in the freezer in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Notes

It helps to place the egg candy mold on a tray to keep it flat and stable.
