These No Bake Chocolate Bird Egg Nest Cookies are so fun for Easter and the PERFECT kid friendly recipe!
They are one of our favorite Easter treats and show up to our yearly Easter dinner.
Ingredients needed for No Bake Chocolate Bird Egg Nest Cookies:
- 12ouncesmilk chocolate chips
- 12ouncesbutterscotch chips*
- 12ouncesChow Mein noodles
- 1cupM&M’s, Jellybeans, Chocolate eggs, or any other kind of “egg-shaped” candy
How to make No Bake Chocolate Bird Egg Nest Cookies:
- Dump your two bags of chips into a microwave-safe bowl.
- Melt in the microwave on 50% power for 60 seconds. Stir and repeat until all chips are smoothly melted.
- Add bag of chow mein noodles to the melted chocolate and stir until all noodles are coated.
- Lay out wax paper and drop a large tablespoonful of chocolate noodles onto wax paper. Mold into a “bird nest” shape. Warning- your hands will get messy.
- Place a couple of “egg” candies on top of the chocolate nest. Let harden (if you can resist eating it! They are good when they are warm and gooey too!) and place in the fridge if you want them to set-up faster.
**Don’t like butterscotch chips? You can switch them out for a second bag of chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or peanut butter chips. I have tried all of those combos and think that they are delicious!

These are always SO messy to make but so darn good and easy, it's hard not to make them as spiders or birds nest cookies during the respective holidays :) a great cookie to engage the kids in making, that's for sure!

You can also use rice krispies or plain special K cereal.

Has anyone ever tried these with broken pretzels? I have them on hand, so thought they might work and still be yummy...
-
Kelli says:
Has anyone tried making these by putting them in mini-muffin tins? That's how I'm planning on making them, but didn't know if they come out ok. I've never made this recipe

I've made them with potato sticks instead of the chow mein noodles. I also used white chocolate with the potato sticks....yummy.

Kim says:
I'm just curious if you have any idea how long these are good for not refrigerated? Do the noodles get soggy? I want to make them for the tops of cupcakes a day or two before I make the cakes.

Momma Cyd says:
You'll be fine making them a day or two ahead of time. Just keep in an airtight container.
