Crunchy Spider Legs / Bird Nests
Chocolate and peanut butter covered crunchy chow mein noodles stand in for "spider legs" in this tasty Azeroth spring treat.
Equipment
- Large pot
Ingredients
- 8.5 oz chow-mein noodles
- ½ c peanut butter (creamy works best)
- 18 oz (1 1/2 regular-size bags) chocolate chips (milk chocolate or semi-sweet)
- 1 large bag Peanut and/or Peanut Butter M&M's (optional)
Instructions
- Spread a large sheet of wax paper or parchment paper on several cookie sheets.
- Pour chocolate chips into a large pot and heat on low until they are almost melted, stirring often. Keep an eye on this so it doesn't burn!
- Add peanut butter and stir until smooth.
- Remove from heat.
- Pour in all of the chow-mein noodles and gently stir / fold in until the noodles are completely covered in chocolate. Do not break the noodles if you can help it.
- Spoon out the mix with a tablespoon and set the spoonfuls on the prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
- For Bird Nests, shape the mounds with an indentation in the center (nest-shaped) and put a few M&M's into each indentation right away before they cool.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour to set the chocolate, or set on a counter in a cool location for 2-3 hours until the chocolate sets. (note - if the room is warm, the chocolate will take much longer to set)
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
