📝 Preparation Steps

In a large bowl, stir together the chow mein noodles, almonds, and coconut flakes.

Place the chopped chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Fill a small pot with 2 inches of water, place it over medium heat, and bring to a simmer. Set the bowl on top of the pot and adjust the heat to low so the water is at a gentle simmer. Stir the chocolate every so often until it is fully melted. Turn off the heat and stir in the peanut butter until it is completely combined with the chocolate. Carefully move the bowl to the counter, making sure to dry off the bottom of the bowl with a kitchen towel. Pour in the chow mein noodle mixture, gently folding them together using a rubber spatula until fully coated.

For ease and consistent sizing in forming the cookies, use a 2-ounce ice cream scoop; if you do not have a scoop, a 1/4-cup dry measure will also work. Scoop the noodle mixture onto the prepared baking sheets and spread out the scoop a little into a nest shape with your fingers. Be sure to stir the mixture together every so often so it stays evenly combined. Form a little platform in the center of the mound and immediately top with 3 candy-coated eggs or a marshmallow chick. Allow the cookies to completely harden on the baking sheets in the refrigerator, about ⏱️ 30 minutes. Store cookies in the fridge, layered between parchment paper.
