These are great to make with kids and can be made a few days in advance and kept in the fridge until Easter Sunday. Note: it can be a sticky mess but I’m sure that won’t deter the kids!
Ingredients are chow mein noodles, mini marshmallows, caramel (dulce de leche), chocolate chips, butter, and mini chocolate eggs.
First, melt the marshmallows and butter in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Once melted, add caramel and chocolate chips to the mixture.
Mix until blended together.
Remove the saucepan from the stove and stir in the chow mein noodles until all the noodles are coated with the chocolate mixture.
Spoon heaped tablespoons of the noodle mixture into the cupcake liners. I used larger ones this time.
See what I mean about sticky!
Press 3 mini eggs into the nests before the nests cool.
Enjoy on Easter Sunday.
