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!

They are sure to brighten your Spring time tables!
