2. Take a large bowl and stir together the egg whites with the salt using a fork. Add the coconut and mix well with the fork.
3. Take an amount of the mixture (about 2 tbsps.) and drop it into the muffin tins. Press the mixture with your finger from the middle to the edges so the sides go up and form a nest. Bake the nests until they become lightly golden on the top rack, for about 30 minutes.
4. Let the tins cool down for about ten minutes and then, using a thin knife or spatula to loosen the edges, lift the nests out of the tins carefully and let them cool down completely.
5. Spoon a small amount of chocolate into each nest and decorate the nests with jelly beans or candy eggs.
