Robin Egg Nests
Ingredients:
– 2 cups chow mein noodles
– 1 cup milk chocolate chips
– 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut
– Mini egg candies, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup. This will also prevent the nests from sticking.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter together. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each session until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Add the chow mein noodles into the chocolate mixture, and carefully fold them in until all noodles are well coated.
4. Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out a small amount of the mixture and form it into a nest shape on the prepared baking sheet. Create an indentation in the center of each nest to mimic a bird’s nest.
5. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top of each nest to add a touch of texture and a hint of sweetness.
6. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the nests to set and firm up.
7. Once the nests have hardened, carefully place 2-3 mini egg candies in the center of each nest to complete the look.
8. Serve these delightful Robin Egg Nests on a decorative platter and watch them disappear as your guests enjoy the crunchy, chocolatey goodness.
