1. Break up pretzel sticks into 1-1.5 inch pieces with your hands.
2. Add chocolate chips and peanut butter to a large bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until melted. Stir until smooth. You can also use a double boiler to melt.
3. Add the pretzel sticks to the bowl and toss to coat evenly in the chocolate mixture.
4. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the pretzel mixture on the parchment paper and use a spoon to shape into a nest. Immediately add 3 candy eggs in the center. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
6. Let the cookies set and firm up. You can transfer to the refrigerator to speed up the process.
7. Enjoy! The cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
