Chocolate Bird Nests

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 12oz bag of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 12oz bag of Butterscotch Chips
  • 1 12oz bag of Chow Mein Noodles
  • Cadbury eggs for garnish

👩‍🍳 Directions

  1. 1

    Grab a small sauce pan and find a glass bowl that will fit on top of it comfortably. *We are creating a double boiler here* Fill the sauce pan with about an inch of water and bring water to a boil then put the glass bowl on top of the sauce pan and fill the glass bowl with both bags of chocolate/butterscotch chips. Note: If you would rather microwave your chocolate chips, that is also an option.

  2. 2

    When chocolate/butterscotch is melted until smooth, remove from heat and add chow Mein noodles and stir until all of the chow mein noodles are covered in chocolate.

  3. 3

    Use a spoon to scoop out a spoon full of noodles and put on parchment paper in a "nest". Use another spoon to help get the chocolate mixture off of the scooping spoon if needed. Then lay 3 Cadbury eggs on top.

  4. 4

    Let cool for an hour or if you are in a hurry, put in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Enjoy! Store in air tight container for up to a week.
