Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Chocolate Chips
  • 2 Cups Chow Mein Noodles
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • 12 Oz Bag of Easter Egg Candy

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate chips until smooth. Add in coconut oil and mix well.
  • Put the chow mein noodles into a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate over the noodles. Gently mix until the noodles are evenly coated.
  • Drop a heaped tablespoon of chocolate noodles mixture onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Using the back of the measuring cup, press in the center to create a nest or well like indent. Alternatively, spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick spray. Add a tablespoon of the chocolate-noodles mixture to the muffin cup and press lightly in the center to form a well/nest.
  • Put a few mini Cadbury eggs in the middle of the nests and press them down so they stick to the nests. Repeat the process until all the chocolate noodles mixture is finished.
  • Refrigerate the nests for 20 to 30 minutes to help the chocolate harden. Remove from the sheet and enjoy !
