- Using tongs, scoop portions onto the prepared parchment and shape into small nest mounds, creating a slight indentation in the center.

Notes
Equipment
- Tongs – Highly recommended for forming the nests without the chocolate sticking to your hands.
- Parchment paper – Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
Notes
- Tongs are strongly recommended. The mixture is very sticky and messy to handle with fingers.
- For a white chocolate variation, substitute white chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chocolate.
- For a peanut butter chocolate flavor, replace the butterscotch chips with peanut butter chips.
