Easter Birds Nest Peanut Butter Chocolate (Printable)

Delightful no-bake treats shaped like birds nests, featuring creamy peanut butter, melted chocolate, and crispy chow mein noodles. Adorn with colorful candy eggs for Easter.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base Mixture

01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
02 - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
03 - 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
04 - 4 cups crispy chow mein noodles

→ Decoration

05 - 54 candy-coated chocolate eggs

# How To Make It:

01 - Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Combine peanut butter, semisweet chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth (approximately 1–2 minutes total).
03 - Add chow mein noodles to the melted mixture. Gently fold until all noodles are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
04 - Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of mixture onto prepared sheets to form mounds. Use a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each mound, shaping them into nests.
05 - Immediately place 2–3 candy eggs in the center of each nest while the mixture remains soft.
06 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until completely set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • These come together in under 20 minutes with zero oven time, making them perfect for busy holiday weekends or last-minute gathering contributions
  • The salty crunch of chow mein noodles against sweet chocolate and peanut butter creates this addictive combination that nobody can resist
02 -
  • Work fast once the noodles are coated because the chocolate starts setting quickly, making it harder to form proper nest shapes
  • Line your baking sheets with parchment paper beforehand, or you will have a terrible time trying to remove these later
03 -
  • Spray your spoon lightly with cooking spray before shaping the nests to prevent the chocolate mixture from sticking
  • If the mixture becomes too firm to work with, pop it in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften it back up
