Easter Birds Nest Peanut Butter Chocolate (Printable)

No-bake chocolate peanut butter nests topped with candy eggs, ready in 20 minutes.

# 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

# Directions:

01 - Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
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 completely 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-peanut butter mixture.
04 - Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of mixture onto prepared baking sheets to form mounds. Use a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each mound, shaping them into nest-like structures.
05 - Immediately place 2-3 candy eggs in the center of each nest while the mixture is still soft and pliable to ensure they adhere properly.
06 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until completely set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
