I call this version, “Peanut Butter Chocolate Nests” because that’s basically what’s in there, besides marshmallows and butter to make them more like a rice krispie treat. So chewy and delicious! And obviously, the mini cadbury eggs on top are a holiday favorite of ours too!

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 4 ½ to 5 cups mini marshmallows, (about half of a 16oz bag)
  • ½ cup Guittard Milk Chocolate Chips
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 cups chow mein noodles
  • 54 Mini Cadbury Eggs, (⅔ of a bag)

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter and marshmallows in a large, non-stick stock pot.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and peanut butter, until melted. Remove mixture from heat.
  • Fold in the chow mein noodles until everything is coated evenly.
  • Spoon nests onto lightly greased wax paper or a silicone baking mat, using cold water to help shape the nests with your fingers.
  • Immediately place 3 Mini Cadbury Eggs in the center of each nest while they are still warm, so the eggs will adhere to the nests and not fall off.
  • Allow nests to cool before consuming. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
