Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Sheet pan
  • Silpat or Parchment Paper
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz package Chow Mein Noodles
  • 12 oz package Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips *Can sub for Enjoy Life chips for a dairy free version!
  • 1/4 cup Almond Butter
  • 1 package Mini Chocolate eggs with a candy shell ( I use the Cadbury kind)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, melt chocolate chips with Almond Butter. You can melt over boiling water or in microwave. *If using microwave, heat only 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between to avoid scorching the chocolate.
  • Once Chocolate is melted, add all of the Chow Mein Noodles. Stir to coat.
  • While still warm, spoon the mixture onto a lined baking sheet in little piles, using the spoon to make a little indent for the eggs to lay in.
  • Set chocolate eggs into nests.
  • Allow chocolate to cool and harden at least 30 min in the fridge or 1 hour on countertop.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Allow chocolate to cool and harden on the Silpat before enjoying. These Chocolate Nests always turn out perfectly cute! They can be enjoyed on their own, or even used as an edible cake topper to welcome Spring or a new baby! They are easy enough for kids to help with too! They are sure to brighten your Spring time tables!
