Chocolate Chow Mein Nests

Made it through the ice storm that took out our electricity for 4 days! Luckily we had a campstove and BBQ for cooking and could whip up these no-bake cookies for Easter.


Ingredients:
300 g (about 10 oz) chocolate chips 
2 cups dry chow mein noodles 
a handful of peanuts or cashews
Cadbury mini eggs

Ideally, melt the chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave or in a double boiler. (Or very gently in a pot on a propane campstove). Whichever method you choose, heat on low to medium temperature until almost completely melted. Remove from heat and stir until smooth and every bit has melted.
Dump the chow mein noodles and melted chocolate into a large bowl and stir to coat. Throw in a handful of nuts and stir some more.
Take large spoonfuls and drop onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with chocolate mini eggs then allow to set. If the fridge isn't out because of a power failure pop the tray in there for a quick set.
Boom, done!

Makes 8-10 large cookie nests
