How to make Nutella No-Bake Bird Nest Cookies with Chow Mein Noodles

 
Place wax paper down on the counter for drying the birds nests.
 
Pour the chocolate chips into a medium size pot and turn the stove on medium-low heat. Check on it every few minutes stirring until semi-melted.
 
Add in the Nutella and peanut butter stirring until smooth and completely melted.
 
Once the mixture is melted remove from the stove and pour in the container of chow mein noodles. Stir to completely coat – it takes me a few stirs to get them all coated.
