Aren’t these the cutest things you have ever seen?! Not only are they cute, but they’re also really tasty. The crunchy little noodles coated in chocolate have that sweet and salty magic to them. And any excuse to eat more mini eggs is a good one. We don’t have a lot of cutesy kid recipes here, mostly because they tend to be fairly finicky. But these totally adorable Easter bird’s nest cookies are not finicky at all. These little things are as easy to make as they are to eat.
How to make chocolate bird’s nest cookies
Chow mein noodles – this might seem like an odd ingredient to eat raw, but they’re deliciously crunchy when coated in chocolate. And if you’ve ever tried our ramen noodle salad, you’ll know that some noodles are wonderful raw. Chocolate – we use both white chocolate (for the white nests) and dark chocolate (for the brown nests.) Peanut butter – if you don’t like peanuts or have an allergy, you can omit this. Butter – a little butter helps melt the chocolate nicely. Sea salt – just a pinch for flavor. Mini eggs – while we love the star of the show, you could use jelly beans.
Instead of making the bird’s nest cookies with chow mein noodles, try one of these alternatives:
Dry ramen noodles Cornflakes Puffed wheat cereal Cheerios
Instead of using white and dark chocolate, try one of these:
Butterscotch chips Mint chocolate chips Milk chocolate chips A mix of chocolate and butterscotch chips Or try adding a few drops of your favorite extract like cinnamon, orange, or almond
