Ingredients
- 1 package crispy chow mein noodles (170 grams, approximately 3 cups)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, or white; or a mix)
- ¾ cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
- 75 Egg Shaped candies (ex. Mini Eggs, Eggies) (75 for 3 eggs per piece; or 50 for 2 eggs per piece)
Instructions
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the chow mein noodles in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Melt in 15 second intervals until fully melted. Or in a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Stir over medium heat until smooth.
- Pour melted chocolate mix over the chow mein noodles and stir until evenly coated.
- Using two spoons, scoop out a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and place it on the parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Form an indent in the center and immediately place two or three egg candies in the center. Repeat with the rest of the mixture and egg candies.
- Allow the nests to cool on the parchment paper until the chocolate is set. To speed up the process, place bird nests in the freezer for 10 minutes, or fridge for 20 - 30 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
