Easter Stove Top Bird Nest Cookies

Chow Mein Noodles, milk chocolate and peanut butter dropped into a bird’s nest shape and topped with candy eggs makes this the perfect cookie for Easter. The crunchy chow mein noodles with the sweetness of the chocolate and peanut butter flavor was SO GOOD!

Cut a large sheet of parchment paper
for your counter. Pour the chow mein
noodles into a large bowl and the
candy eggs into a small bowl.

Bring the water to a simmer in the
bottom pan of the double boiler.
Pour the chocolate chips into the
top part of the double boiler,
stirring constantly until
smooth and creamy.

Remove from the heat and
stir in the peanut butter.

Pour the chocolate mixture
over the chow mein noodles.

Toss gently coating all of the chow
mein noodles with the chocolate.

Drop the noodles onto the parchment
paper into a small nest shape (I used
a coffee scoop for mine) then top
with three of the candy eggs.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

My mom used to make these, but she never thought of putting the eggs in the nest!
Awe how sweet Dorothy, they were a little quicker without the candy eggs. Lol

You are so kind Anita, thank you❤️
My grandchildren love doing these. They also like to make them with butterscotch chips. 🙂
There are so many things you could use like Rice Krispies, pretzels, white chocolate or a combination of chocolates. My granddaughter helped me too.
Love this! Printing…
Thank you, they are messy to make but set up well and the taste if fabulous.
Looks good! I think someone in my family used to make these many years ago. Nice idea!
Thank you so much❤️
These are cute, easy and fun to make ☺️
They tasted so good. The chow mein tasted just like chocolate covered pretzels. Thank you❤️
Really cute, send me some ! lol just kidding Diane!
Awe thank you and I would if they wouldn’t melt! 🤣
I have made the candy; we called it Chinese Chews. The little candy eggs in a nest, however, just puts it over the top. So cute!
Thank you for your nice comment❤️
Brilliant idea – using the eggs!
Thank you❤️
These look so Springy and appetizing Diane. As I mentioned in the other comment, ours were just plain, not chocolate. Who needs a chocolate Easter bunny with these treats?
Me!!!!!!! 😂😂🤣
We made these as girl scouts in my youth. I just could never find a recipe. Thanks for posting.
You’re very welcome. What wonderful memories. I have so many memories from Girl Scouts too, especially the pan and utensils that all stored in the pan. Lol
Cuuuuute! Must share this with my kids. 🙂
They taste really good too. Thanks
I’m sure they do! 🙂
Very cute with the candy eggs on top!
