Directions

  • Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper.

  • Melt the white chocolate chips over low heat. Do not use too high of heat because if the
    chocolate overheats it may separate and become grainy. Stir the white chocolate until it is all
    melted.

  • Remove from the heat and add the vegetable oil. Stir until the white chocolate is creamy and
    smooth.

  • Add the chow mein noodles and coconut. Stir these ingredients into the white chocolate until
    evenly coated. If the mixture seems a little too moist to be able to form the nests, add a few
    more chow mein noodles. Start by adding no more than an additional 1/4 cup.

  • Divide the mixture into 8 even amounts. Place them on the parchment lined cookie sheet and
    use your hands to shape them into nest with a hollowed out center.

  • Once all the nests are shaped, place them in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes to
    harden before filling.

  • Remove from the refrigerator and fill each nest with Peanut M&M's or other Easter candy, such
    as jelly beans.
