Place chow mein noodles in a large bowl.
In another bowl, melt chocolate and butterscotch chips at 50% power for 1 minute or until melted or melt over a double broiler. Stir until smooth. Reserve about 1 T. melted milk chocolate.
Pour milk chocolate and butterscotch over chow mein noodles; stir until coated.
Spray silicone muffin pans with non-stick cooking spray. Add large spoonfuls of the mixture to the muffin cups; press lightly in the center of the cups to form the nest.
With the remaining chocolate in the bowl, dip the backs of the Cadbury eggs and place in the middle of the nests. Use a toothpick to dip into the remaining chocolate to add 2 eyes. Add a tiny dot of yellow frosting for the beak.
Refrigerate for at least 20 - 30 minutes to harden the chocolate.
Makes 12 egg nests.
*Peanut butter chips can be substituted for butterscotch chips, if desired.
