Birds Nest Cookies
Birds Nest Cookies - Celebrate Easter with these easy and quick Bird Nest Cookies! Made with Easter chocolate eggs, chow mein noodles, dark chocolate and peanut butter, it makes the perfect Easter treat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
- 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped (or dark chocolate chips)
- 2 cups fried noodles (such as chow mein noodles)
- mini chocolate eggs, as many as desired
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter and chopped dark chocolate together. You can do this in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Alternatively, you can melt them together in a double boiler on the stove.
- Once the peanut butter and chocolate are melted, add the fried noodles to the bowl. Gently fold them into the mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into each muffin pan cup, dividing it equally among the cups. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to create an indentation in the center of each portion to form a nest shape.
- Place the muffin pan in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the cookies are set and firm.
- Once the cookies have set, remove the muffin pan from the refrigerator. Carefully remove them from the muffin pan. If needed, use a small knife or spoon to help loosen the edges of the cookies from the pan.
- Gently press mini eggs into the center of each nest. Allow the cookies to fully set and firm up in the refrigerator for another 1-2 hours.
- Once the cookies are completely set, transfer the cookies to a serving plate or store them in an airtight container.
