Step by step instructions:
I love how simple these birds nests are to make. I made these with my 3 year old son and apart from using the microwave, he could make them all on his own – they really are that easy!
- Place the chocolate and peanut butter into a microwave-safe bowl and heat until just melted.

- Arrange on a baking paper lined tray in birds nest shapes.
- Chill in the fridge.
- Decorate with mini Easter eggs.
Using fried noodles in Chocolate Easter Birds Nests
It might seem strange to use fried noodles in a sweet dessert… but trust me on this one! The noodles give the perfect amount of crunch – plus they balance out the sweetness of the chocolate and Easter eggs.
I used Changs brand of fried noodles in this recipe (you can buy them from most major supermarkets). If you can’t find that particular brand, any type of fried noodles will work fine.
