This is a super simple Easter treat – Chocolate nests with mini eggs. What I love about this project is that the kids can basically do it all. Of course children should always operate a stove under adult supervision but even the little ones have a great time placing the eggs in the nests.

What You’ll Need:

1 pkg of Chocolate Chips (approximately 2 cups)
1 pkg of Butterscotch Chips
Approximately 5 cups of Chow Mein noodles
Mini Eggs

Method:

Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips in a large pot over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Once all the chips are melted turn off heat and add chow mein noodles. I use about half a package and for this project I used mostly thin ones with about a cup of the larger ones for variation.

Once all the noodles are coated spoon out on a lined cookie sheet, flattening a bit in the middle.
Then just add your eggs. Let cool
