Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (125g) packet Cadbury Mini Eggs, gluten-free
- 1 (100g) packet Chang’s Gluten-Free Fried Noodles
- 200g chocolate melts (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or a mix)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter or nut butter of choice
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate:
- Microwave Method: Place the chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each burst, until melted and smooth.
- Stovetop Method: Fill a small pot with water and bring to a simmer. Place the chocolate in a heat-safe bowl that fits snugly over the pot (without touching the water). Stir the chocolate until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the peanut butter to the melted chocolate and stir to combine. Add the gluten-free fried noodles and stir until evenly coated in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
- Create Nests: Line a large tray with baking paper. Use two spoons to create 10 nests on the tray, pressing down slightly in the center of each nest to form a well. Place three Cadbury Mini Eggs in the center of each nest.
- Set and Serve: Refrigerate the nests until the chocolate is firm. Transfer to an airtight container for storage until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use any type of chocolate melts you prefer.
- Any nut butter can be substituted for peanut butter.
- If you don’t have Chang’s Gluten-Free Fried Noodles, you can use another brand of gluten-free fried noodles or a different crispy base like chow mein noodles.
- These nests can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
