Spring is in the air and Easter is right around the corner. So, let’s bring out the Easter recipes! I’m getting festive this week with these adorable no bake butterscotch and peanut butter bird’s nest cookies. Now that’s a mouthful!
These are my favourite Easter cookies to make (and to be honest, the only Easter cookies that I make apart from egg-shaped sugar cookies). Not only is it fun to make something that is so aesthetically appealing, but everyone that I share these with fall in love with them. I know that my husband and I could finish all of these at home in one day, but I have decided to pawn them off as mini Easter gifts to some of our friends.
What’s so great about these cookies is that they are so easy to make that even the kids can help out. There are only 4 ingredients that you need to gather: chow mein noodles (yup, you read that right!), butterscotch chips, peanut butter, and chocolate eggs. I use Cadbury mini eggs because I just can’t live without them this time of year and they fit perfectly in these nests.
Just based on the fact that there are only 4 ingredients, you can assume that this recipe really cannot be that complicated. And you’ve got that right. There is no baking involved just a little stove-top butterscotch chips and peanut butter melting action. Within 5 minutes, your nests have been created and after a cooling period of 10 more minutes, you are ready to add chocolate eggs to your nests and start eating these adorable creations. So go ahead and bring the kids on in the fun!

Pin RecipeDescription
Spring is in the air and Easter is right around the corner. This calls for a batch of adorable no bake butterscotch and peanut butter bird’s nest cookies.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 cups chow mein noodles
- 1/4 cup chocolate eggs (Cadbury mini eggs recommended)
Instructions
- Melt the butterscotch chips with the peanut butter in a wide saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until melted.
- Pour the mixture into a large bowl of the chow mein noodles and stir to combine.
- Fill up each compartment of your muffin tray with a spoonful of this mixture.
- Let cool for 10 minutes and remove from the tray. Be careful when you are removing the nests, as to not break them.
- Add in some chocolate Easter eggs (I used Cadbury mini eggs).
Notes
Use a silicone muffin tray for easier removal of the cookies when set.
Happy Easter! Gonna whip up a batch of these before my guests arrive:)
Happy Easter to you too! Enjoy 🙂
Mmmmmm can’t wait to have this at my Easter party every year this is sooo good. ???? ????

Cute! 🙂 How do you store these?
These cookies look so pretty and festive! Plus, the butterscotch peanut butter flavor combination sounds delicious. They would definitely make a lovely addition to my Easter celebration. Thanks for sharing!
These look delicious, and I love how you don’t have to bake them!
I think we might try this out with our little one on Easter. She’ll be able to help in the kitchen and eat some sweets!
Thanks for sharing!
Hi any idea of what substitute to use for the peanut butter? I love the butterscotch idea but I have non peanut fans. Thanks
These look so great! Totally trying these out!
I’ve seen these made with dyed coconut flakes too! I’ll have to get creative with Easter just around the corner. Thanks SAm!
Those are so cute! And such a fun project for the kids to help out with – they’ll love this one.
Great sweet for easter!
I love chow mein noodles!! So crunchy! I can just imagine how delicious they taste covered in butterscotch flavour! And they look so cute and adorable!

I just made these for a party. You can probably get 8-9 out of this recipe– based on a yield of 6, I quadrupled it to make two dozen– even filling the cups quite full I got 33! They are quite good though!
Nice!! I did fill up the tins quite high but I could definitely fill them up a little less to get more too! Thanks for the tip 🙂
Sam these are so adorable!! makes me wanna pick up and eat one right away!
Thanks, Swayam! I’m glad you like them 🙂
Seriously genius!!
