Instructions

First, in a microwave safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips. Microwave for 15-30 second intervals until completely melted.

To the melted chocolate, mix in powdered sugar and peanut butter. Mix until smooth.

Then add the chow mein noodles to the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture. With a silicone spoon or spatula, gently fold the noodles into the mixture until evenly coated.

Next, grease a standard sized muffin tin with cooking spray. Use a paper towel to wipe away excess oil.

Add the chocolate haystacks to the pan using a rounded tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop a tablespoon into each slot and then press down with the back of the tablespoon to make an indent in the middle.

Top each of the chow mein noodles cookies with 3 chocolate eggs in the middle of the nests.

Allow to set in the fridge for 20 minutes or until solid. Remove from the tins and serve!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Temper White Chocolate Properly 🍫
Melt white chocolate chips in short 20-30 second microwave intervals, stirring between each, to prevent seizing and ensure smooth, glossy coating that sets evenly on your nests.
Toast Chow Mein Noodles First 🥢
Lightly toast the chow mein noodles in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing to intensify their nutty flavor and reduce sogginess as they absorb moisture from the peanut butter.
Create Nest Shape with Ice Cream Scoop 🥄
Use a small ice cream scoop or muffin tin to form uniform, perfectly-shaped nests, then gently press the center with your thumb while the mixture is still warm to create the ideal pocket for candy eggs.
Chill Before Adding Eggs 🧊
Allow nests to set in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before placing Cadbury eggs on top, ensuring the noodle structure is firm enough to hold the candies without collapsing or shifting.
Balance Peanut Butter Ratio Perfectly ⚖️
Use equal parts peanut butter and white chocolate by weight (not volume) to achieve the ideal creamy-to-crunchy ratio—too much peanut butter makes nests dense, too little makes them crumbly.
