ingredients

8 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 cup crisp rice cereal
1 cup chow mein noodles
¹⁄₂ cup sweetened flaked coconut
minature candy coated chocolate egg

directions

Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and shortening.
Microwave on MEDIUM, stirring at 1-minute intervals until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Gently stir in rice cereal, chow mein noodles and coconut into chocolate mixture until thoroughly blended.
Drop chocolate mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls 1 inch apart onto prepared baking sheets.
Using the back of a spoon, make an indentation in each spoonful of chocolate mixture to form a nest.
Place chocolate nests on baking sheets in the refrigerator; chill until set, about 1 hour.
Remove nests from baking sheets.
Fill each nest with candy as desired.
Enjoy!
Happy Easter!
