Chocolate Chow Mein Bird Nests

This is a great showstopper dessert that everyone will love. We do eat with our eyes first, right? Well, these chocolate chow mein bird nests will please everyone’s eyes and their palette. They tick off all the boxes for creativity and flavor. Featured in this month’s VUE magazine, I thought those of you who may have missed it may love the recipe.

Last week I shared the Cocoa Krispies bird nests created in a muffin tin. But these give you more of realistic look at a birds nest which I love.

Have you ever made chocolate chow mein bird nests?

These are SOOOO fast and easy, that including the kids in these creations will be perfect.

First, measure your ingredients out and cover a baking sheet with parchment.

Next, add your chocolate chips and peanut butter (or other flavor of your choice) chips to a microwave safe bowl and melt on low setting, stirring often until til the mixture is melted and smooth.

Add in your chow mein noodles and mix to coat.

Drop by spoonfuls onto the parchment paper and then indent the center of each “bird nest” and add 3 Cadbury mini eggs to each nest.

Just add to the fridge to chill and firmly set.

Can you believe how easy that is?

I simply store them in a cookie jar or tin with parchment paper in between to keep until ready to serve. You can keep them in the fridge, too.
