The first step in this chocolate haystacks recipe: Line a 13x18 sheet pan or cookie sheet with raised edges with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
Melt chocolate chips in microwave according to package instructions. Do not overheat. Stir in peanut butter until smooth.Then stir in the chow mein noodles. Drop mounds or little haystacks of noodle mixture onto prepared sheet with about 2 inches in between each one. You should have 12-14 cookies.
Working quickly, add a few mini candy coated chocolate eggs on top of each delicious cookie, gently pressing down to secure them. You'll want to do this step while the chocolate is still melty.
Place in refrigerator to set, about an hour. They're ready to eat. Store covered in refrigerator up to 5 days.
