For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. Simply melt the butter in the saucepan and cook until it turns a nutty brown color before adding the marshmallows and peanut butter. If you don't have chow mein noodles, you can substitute them with pretzel sticks or shredded coconut for a different texture. To prevent the nests from sticking to the plate, place them on parchment paper or a silicone mat while they cool. Get creative with your egg colors! Use a variety of pastel shades to create a visually stunning display.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium saucepan, combine the miniature marshmallows, peanut butter, and butter. Place over medium heat and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. (Approximately 5 minutes)
02
StepPour the crispy chow mein noodles into a large mixing bowl. Immediately pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the noodles, ensuring they are evenly coated. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine.
03
StepLightly spray your hands with cooking spray or coat them with a thin layer of butter to prevent sticking. Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, scoop portions of the noodle mixture and gently shape them into small balls. Press your thumb into the center of each ball to create a shallow nest.
04
StepWhile the nests are still slightly warm and pliable, carefully arrange 4 candy-coated chocolate eggs in the center of each nest. Allow the nests to cool completely to set. Serve and enjoy the sweet, crunchy treat.
