🐦 Birds Nest Cookies Recipe offers a fun and creative no-bake treat perfect for Easter celebrations with a delightful crispy texture.
🍫 Combining chocolate, butterscotch, and peanut butter, these nests are both visually appealing and satisfyingly sweet with a crunchy surprise inside.

  • Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup milk chocolate chips (180g) for a rich flavor

Β½ cup butterscotch chips (90g) for a sweet, caramel-like taste

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (40g) to bind and add nutty creaminess

2Β½ cups chow mein noodles (150g) for crispy texture

36 mini candy eggs for festive decoration

Instructions

1- Creating Birds Nest Easter Cookies is straightforward and fun, especially since it’s a no-bake recipe. Start by lining two cookie sheets with parchment paper to make cleanup easy and ensure the nests set properly.

2- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter. Heat this mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until it’s melted and smooth. You can also melt it on the stove over low heat for a hands-on approach.

3- Once melted, stir in the chow mein noodles to coat them evenly, creating that signature crispy texture. Scoop the mixture into 12 mounds, using about 2 tablespoons for each, and place them on the prepared sheets. Finish by adding 3 mini candy eggs in the center of each mound to resemble a bird’s nest, then let them stand for about 3 hours until fully set.
