How to Make The Nest Best Thing
- Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water and bring to a simmer. Place a large heatproof bowl on top of the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Add the 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the heatproof bowl. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and gently stir in 1 cup of chow mein noodles until they are evenly coated with the melted chocolate.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Drop 4 mounds of the chocolate noodle mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Using your fingers (or lightly oiled spoons for less mess!), shape each mound into a nest approximately 3 inches in diameter.
- Refrigerate the chocolate nests for at least 1 hour, or until they are completely firm.
- Once firm, fill each chocolate nest with your favorite candied eggs.
- Store the nests in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 4 days.
