Easter Egg Nests | Eggless Baking

Easter is around the corner and I want Kiara to get familiar with the easter egg hunt (She is just 17 Months Old and doesn't understand things much). So I am trying to get her involved into some Easter crafts and treats. She loves helping me with chores, so I thought it would be a great idea to get her to help me with decorating these Easter Cookie Nests. 

Coconut Caramel Easter Egg Nests are made with coconut cookies, salted caramel sauce and chocolate candy eggs. This is a cutest little Easter dessert ever.
