Chocolate Bird Nests (aka Easter Haystacks)

I've always loved the crunchy, chewy, chocolate taste of haystacks.  Here is my own version I adapted for the Easter holiday.  Makes 25-30 haystacks.

Ingredients:
16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 cups dry chow mein noodles
3/4 cup peanuts
1/2 cup marshmallows
1 bag peanut M&Ms (I got the pastel version for Easter)

Directions:
1.  Microwave the chocolate chips in a mixing bowl for 30 seconds at a time until melted- mine took about 90 seconds.
2.  Stir in the noodles, peanuts and marshmallows until everything is evenly coated in chocolate.
3.  Use a tablespoon to drop mounds of the mixture onto cookie sheets lined with wax paper.
4.  Take a couple of M&M candies and press them into each mound so they resemble bird nests.
5.  Refrigerate for an hour, or until ready to serve.
