Chocolate Easter Candy Nests Recipe
Chocolate Easter Candy Nests made with candy melts, chocolate, chow mein noodles, peanut butter, and Easter candy!
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon butter to grease 12 count muffin pan
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup Wilton white candy melts or chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 5 oz canister La Choy chow mein noodles
- Green edible Easter grass - cut into 2-inch strips
- 36 Whopper or Cadbury eggs
Instructions
- Butter a large 12 ct muffin pan or spray with non stick coating. Set aside.
- Add the chocolate chips to a double boiler under medium heat. Stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth (about 3-4 minutes).
- Pour the melted chocolate into a large mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup of peanut butter and stir to combine.
- Fold in half of the canister of chow mein noodles. Gently stir with a rubber spatula to evenly coat the noodles.
- Transfer the chocolate-coated chow mein noodles to 6 muffin cups. Press down firmly along the sides and the bottom to form a "nest."
- Add the white candy melts or white chocolate chips to a double boiler under medium heat. Stir occasionally until completely melted.
- Transfer the melted white chocolate to a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup of peanut butter and stir to combine.
- Fold in the remaining chow mein noodles. Gently stir with a rubber spatula to evenly coat the noodles.
- Spoon the white chocolate coated chow mein noodles into the remaining muffin cups. Press down firmly along the sides and the bottom to form a "nest."
- Place the muffin pan into the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate nests to harden.
- Line a large cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper.
- Once chilled, pop the nests out of their molds with the help of a butter knife. They should come out very easily. Place on the lined cookie sheet.
- Fill each nest with a handful of edible Easter grass. Place 3 candy eggs in each nest, on top of the grass.
