How long do these peanut butter haystacks stay fresh?

They stay fresh for up to one week in an airtight container. Chilling extends their texture and flavor.

Can I substitute milk chocolate or dark chocolate?

Yes, absolutely. Milk or dark chocolate both pair nicely with peanut butter, though they’ll make the flavor richer and less sweet.

Do these need to be refrigerated after setting?

Not necessarily. Once they’re firm, room temperature is fine unless it’s very warm where you live.

Instructions

1. Spray two standard muffin tins with non-stick spray.

2. Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating for about one minute; stir until smooth. Continue in short bursts if needed.

3. Stir in powdered sugar and peanut butter until well combined.

4. Fold in chow mein noodles until fully coated.

5. Spoon heaping tablespoons into the muffin tins and press the centers to form nest shapes.

6. Place three candy-coated Easter eggs in each nest.

7. Refrigerate for 20 minutes until firm, then remove and serve.

Notes

Use regular creamy peanut butter, not natural types that separate.

Adjust noodle amount if using a different can size.

Chilling helps them release easily from tins.

Swap Easter egg candies for pastel M&M’s or jelly beans for variation.

Try butterscotch chips instead of white chocolate for a new flavor.
