Earlier this week I wrote a post asking for some advice on ideas of treat to make for my son's class. I was given many great ideas that I am very thankful for, this is what I ended up making. I found the recipe on familyfun.com. It was very easy to make, I let my son stay up past his bedtime on a school night to help me make these, and his classmates thought it was awesome. Thank you all for your help! 
| RECIPE INGREDIENTS: |  | 1/2 cup shredded coconut |  | 1/4 cup white chocolate chips |  | 1 Twinkie |  | Chocolate sprinkles |  | Orange frosting |  | 2 candy lemon slices 1. To make a pair of nests, first spread 1/2 cup of shredded coconut on a cookie sheet and toast it under a broiler until golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove the coconut from the oven, stir it, then toast it for 30 seconds more. Repeat as needed until all of the coconut is evenly toasted, then let it cool.
2. Next, melt 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips in a double boiler according to the package directions. Remove the pan from the heat (keep the chocolate over the warm water) and stir in the coconut.
3. For the nestlings, lay a Twinkie flat on your work surface and cut it in half. Press 2 chocolate sprinkles into each half for eyes and pipe on orange frosting beaks. Let the beaks set a bit, then stand the chicks upright on waxed paper and spoon the warm coconut mixture around them, shaping it into rings. Lastly, use frosting to stick on trimmed candy lemon slices (we used Brach's) for wings.
