Instructions

Place parchment paper over a baking sheet. Divide the chow mein noodles evenly between 2 small bowls.
Melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter, 1 teaspoon of the butter, and a pinch of sea salt either in your microwave or in a small pan over low heat. When it's melted, stir it well then pour it over the chow mein noodles in one bowl.
Mix the noodles and chocolate well then create 4 small nests with the chocolate noodles on the prepared baking sheet.
Next, melt the white chocolate with the remaining teaspoon of butter and a pinch of salt then pour it over the other bowl of chow mein noodles and toss to coat. Form into 4 nests on the baking sheet.
Set the baking sheet aside for at least 2 hours. You can also place the nests in your fridge to speed things up.
Carefully remove the nests from the baking sheet using an offset spatula or knife. Place little chocolate eggs or jelly beans inside the nests before serving. Happy Easter!
