Chocolate Easter Nests are a delicious and crunchy treat that requires no baking, only two ingredients, and just a few simple steps. They're perfect for spring or Easter ... or just for fun any time of year!

Crunchy Chocolate Easter Nests

Makes 6-8 nests

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup chocolate or white chips
  • 2 cups chow mein noodles
  • Candy eggs (jelly beans also work!)
  • Parchment paper

Directions:

  1. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Heat chocolate chips in a pot over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Once melted, pour chocolate into a mixing bowl.
  3. Pour chow mein noodles into bowl and stir gently until completely coated with chocolate.
  4. Scoop some of the mixture with a tablespoon and place onto parchment paper, using the spoon to create a nest shape. Be sure to leave an indentation in the center for candy eggs. Repeat this process until mixture is gone.
  5. Set aside to dry, approximately 30 minutes – these will set up quicker in the refrigerator.
  6. Once the chocolate is dry to the touch, gently peel off the parchment paper. Place on a platter or bed of Easter grass and fill the nests with candy eggs.

Enjoy!
