Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chocolate chips Semisweet
  • 1 cup Butterscotch chips
  • 1.5 tablespoon Peanut butter Creamy
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Shredded or desiccated
  • 2.5 cups Chow mein noodles These are already cooked
  • 36 Mini chocolate eggs Make sure to buy a variety of colors

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter. Heat in the microwave at 30 second intervals and mix after each interval until mixture is fully melted smooth.
  • Add coconut and chow mein noodles and mix until noodles are fully coated.
  • Drop spoonfuls of this mixture onto a baking tray, lined with wax paper.
  • Use the spoon to create an indent in the center.
  • Stick three mini chocolate eggs in this space for each cookie. I used a black and orange edible marker to draw facial details on some of the eggs. That transformed them into little chick candies.
  • Chill in the fridge until the chocolate sets and the cookies become firm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If the eggs are not sticking securely, you may have to stick them with a little bit of  melted chocolate. It works like glue. 
  • Drawing details on the chocolate eggs is optional.
  • Edible markers can easily be found online or in the baking and cake decorating aisles of many grocery stores.
  • Add extracts for a different flavor profile.
  • Add roughly chopped nuts for additional crunch. 
  • Read additional tips and variations above.
  • Make sure your tray is lined with wax paper or parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking to pan. 
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days.
