Ingredients
- 11 ounces white chocolate chips approx. 2 cups
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounces chow mein noodles 1 can or approx. 4 cups
- Candy-coated mini chocolate Easter eggs about 48
Instructions
- Spray the wells of two cupcake tins. Set aside.
- Pour the white chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Continue cooking in 10 second intervals in the microwave until all the chips are melted and smooth.
- Mix in the powdered sugar and peanut butter. Stir until well combined.
- Fold in the chow mein noodles until fully coated.
- Scoop the mixture in large spoonfuls into the cupcake wells. Press the noodles out to make a nest. Place 2 or 3 eggs in each nest.
- Refrigerate until the nests are cooled, about 20 minutes. Pick the nests carefully from the pan and serve.
Notes
- These nests are best eaten the day they are made, but can be stored for up to a week in an air tight container.
- You can use sugar-free white chocolate chips to cut down on the sugar.
- A silicon cupcake pan makes it the easiest to extract the nests from the pan.
- There are many brands of mini Easter eggs, but we use Cadbury as they are easiest to find and taste good.
