Its hard to believe that Spring Break started today with the 8 inches of snow in my yard, but it did.

I love having the break to spend time with the kids.  This week is going to be full of organizing and getting the house ready to go on the market, so I wanted to find an easy Easter recipe that Jonah and I could do in a short amount of time.

Chow Mein Noodle Birds Nest Cookies

With the Easter holiday coming up (the egg hunt could be interesting with all this snow) I wanted to make some bird nest cookies that would be perfect for spring or even an outdoor garden party.  I had seen some Chow Mein bird nest cookies in the past and thought this would be a great opportunity to make them.

No Bake Bird’s Nest Cookies

Jonah and I got our creative cooking caps on and got to work. The reason these cookies look so cute is the candy that we used for the eggs.  The best candy to use is Cadbury Mini-Eggs. I have found them to be the most realistic looking candy eggs, these are what makes these cookies stand out from the rest!

 No bake cookies are a great option for parents when they are cooking with kids. I didn’t have to worry about my son burning himself.  He enjoyed getting his hands covered in chocolate.  We had a great time!

No bake bird’s nest cookies are also a great recipe to make if you are in a time pinch. This recipe only takes about 20 minutes start to finish if you let the cookies harden in the freezer!

Adorable no bake bird's nest cookies recipe that uses both chocolate and peanut butter to make the most delicious nests.

Ingredients 

• 1 package 16 oz. Chocolate Candy (I used CandiQuick, but you could use Wilton Candy Melts or your favorite Chocolate Candy.
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 3 cups chow mein noodles
• Cadbury Mini Eggs

Instructions 

• Melt chocolate and peanut butter in the microwave. Heat for 1 minute and stir to see if you need any additional time. Heat for 15-second intervals if not fully melted.
• Combine all ingredients (except eggs) in a mixing bowl.
• Stir well to coat all of the noodles.
• Drop by spoonful onto wax paper. Wait about a minute or two and form into nests. The dip in the middle doesn't need to be too big, but make sure there isn't a hole in the nest.
• Let harden.
• Add eggs to your nests.
• Enjoy!
