Equipment

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 ounces dried rice vermicelli noodles
2 ounces semi sweet chocolate
Chocolate Easter eggs

Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Break the vermicelli rice noodles into smaller strands that will be easier to work with, and then place in the skillet for about 2-4 minutes until they become shiny.
Some will turn light golden brown and that is fine. Remove from the oil and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second increments for up to 1 minute and half, stirring in between, until completely smooth and melted.
Place the cooked vermicelli into the bowl of chocolate and use your hands to gently toss the vermicelli with the chocolate until they are completely coated in chocolate.
Line the opposite side of a muffin tin with silicone cups or plastic wrap and gently press the vermicelli mixture around the cup to create a nest-like shape
Refrigerate until the mixture is set and firm, about 30 minutes. Place your favorite chocolate eggs inside and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last up to a week.

Freezing: You can freeze these nests for up to 3 months. The chocolate may discolor slightly, but they will be perfectly good to eat. Take them out of the freezer about 30 minutes to an hour before you want to enjoy them.
