Ingredients
Method
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In large heatproof bowl set over saucepan of gently simmering water, melt chocolate chips, stirring, until smooth. Stir in peanut butter and salt; fold in chow mein noodles until coated.
Spoon by heaping 1 tbsp onto prepared pans; using back of spoon, form well in centre of each. Divide chocolate eggs among nests. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
Test Kitchen Tip: The chow mein noodles in these nests are made by cutting, boiling and then deep-frying Chinese egg noodles. Look for them at bulk food stores or in the international aisle of your local grocery store. Make the nests in advance and store them in a resealable plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to five days or in the freezer for up to a month.
Makes about 24 pieces.
