How to Make No Bake Chocolate Easter Nests

  1. Line two baking sheets with foil and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.
  3. If using a saucepan, melt over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth. If using a microwave, microwave on high for 2-4 minutes, stirring every minute, until melted and smooth.
  4. Add the chow mein noodles to a large bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the noodles and gently toss with a rubber spatula until evenly coated.
  5. Lightly spray your finger with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Drop generous 1/4 - 1/2 cup portions of the chocolate noodle mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Use your sprayed finger to gently shape the mounds into nests, creating a small depression in the center of each.
  8. Fill the center of each nest with your favorite candies.
  9. Let the nests cool completely to set.
  10. Store loosely covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
