Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine semisweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and creamy peanut butter. Heat in the microwave on medium power for 30 seconds, stirring until smooth.
  2. Once your chocolate mixture is perfectly melted, gently fold in the crunchy chow mein noodles, ensuring every noodle is thoroughly coated.
  3. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drop generous amounts of the mixture onto the parchment and shape into nest forms.
  4. After shaping the nests, gently press the chocolate egg candies into the centers of each nest.
  5. Place the tray of shaped nests in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until they are firm and set.
  6. Once set, remove the cookies from the refrigerator and transfer them to an airtight container.
