Title: White Chocolate Birds Nest Cookies
Ingredients:
– 1 cup white chocolate chips
– 2 cups chow mein noodles
– 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
– Mini chocolate eggs or jelly beans
Instructions:
1. Start by melting the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
2. Once the white chocolate is melted, add the chow mein noodles to the bowl. Gently fold the noodles into the chocolate until they are evenly coated.
3. Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the chocolate-covered noodles into small clusters on the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into nest-like formations.
4. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle shredded coconut over the top of each nest to create a nest-like appearance. Press gently to help the coconut stick to the chocolate.
5. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set and the nests to firm up.
6. Once the nests have hardened, gently press mini chocolate eggs or jelly beans into the center of each nest to complete the look of bird’s eggs in a nest.
7. Allow the cookies to set completely in the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy the delightful combination of sweet white chocolate, crunchy noodles, and coconut with a burst of color from the mini eggs!
