Coconut Macaroon Nests for Easter

Remember my post last week about the Coconut Pecan Graham Cracker Bars? Remember how I was terrified to find out that the recipe contained coconut?

In case you missed it, I have no problems with coconut…but the rest of my family does. This means that all coconut-related items in this house end up straight on my hips.

Curse you, will power.

So, when planning for what I wanted to make for this week’s food post, I knew that I wanted to get the rest of the coconut out of this house.

Because I’ve been known to stand in the pantry and eat it straight out of the bag.

Normal people do that, don’t they?

So, what better way than to use up some coconut than by making coconut macaroon nests? They’re simple and quick and super tasty for coconut lovers like myself. And bonus, since it’s springtime, I decided to top them with orange pineapple marmalade for a bright and fresh flavor. (Of course I’ve seen them topped with goodies like Biscoff and Nutella. Find what you like and run with it.)

And because no coconut macaroon nest would be complete without the addition of some “eggs”, I decided to top mine with some of the new carrot cake M&Ms.

I pause for a moment to let that sink in.

Carrot Cake M&Ms. Yum.

Looks nice and springy, no??

On a side note, this was my first time using my vanilla bean paste. Can you see all the specs of vanilla in those macaroons? I like those specs.

So, grab a few ingredients and make your own coconut macaroon nests.  For Easter. Or for any day…whatever works for you.
