White Chocolate Bird Nests
Description
The process involves melting white chocolate gently, then folding in crunchy chow mein noodles and toasted coconut to coat evenly. The mixture is shaped into small nest forms on wax paper. Jelly beans placed in the center complete the look and add fruity sweetness and color.
Variations can use other flavored chips such as butterscotch or peanut butter for a different dimension. The toasted coconut adds subtle nutty flavor and texture while complementing the chocolate and noodles. The nests are no-bake and quick to assemble once chocolate is melted, making them an accessible treat.
These nests serve well as party favors, holiday desserts, or snack treats and can be customized by coloring coconut or changing candy centers to match themes.
Ingredients
- 11 ounces white chocolate chips (you can substitute butterscotch or peanut butter chips)
- 1 cup Chow Mein noodles crunchy
- 1/2 cup coconut toasted
- 1 bag jelly beans
Instructions
- In a glass bowl, microwave white chocolate chips for 1 minute on 70% power. Stir. Microwave for 15 second intervals, stirring between each one, until chocolate is smooth.

Notes
