Send your family's taste buds soaring with a nest of these bald eagle treats. To make half a dozen, follow the recipe below.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips
• 6 large marshmallows
• Finely shredded coconut

• Chocolate sandwich cookie (we used a chocolate-covered Oreo)
• 6 Cashews
• Black decorators' gel

Instructions

1. Melt 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips according to the package directions.

2. For each bird, drop a large marshmallow into the melted chocolate, using a spatula to coat it well.

3. Remove the marshmallow from the chocolate and roll it in finely shredded coconut, leaving one end uncovered.

4. Immediately set the marshmallow, coconut free end down, atop a chocolate sandwich cookie.

5. Let the chocolate set a bit, then use a toothpick to make a hole in the side of the marshmallow and insert a cashew for a beak.

6. Finally, add black decorators' gel eyes.

Oh, I know.  Well, at least the cashew is healthy.
