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!
Adapted from: http://www.TheFrugalGirls.com

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.
