Step 1 MELT & MIX - Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave at 60% power in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth. Add in fried noodles and salt and mix to coat well.

Personal Note
The day that I made these cookies, I had one of the best days ever. At the moment my workload is high, I work 6 days a week as the blog is still just me and so when I get my one day off I am very happy indeed. And my perfect day involves me wandering around the house in pyjamas for the entire day. That to me is my little measure of when I can truly relax as it tells my brain that I don't have to get changed or work out.
Another way that really tells me that I'm having a proper day off is if I can watch tv during the day. For anyone that works regular hours, you know that that is mostly a night time or weekend activity. But getting to watch The Lincoln Lawyer while the sun is still shining outside is absolute heaven.
Of course with my day off I couldn't help but create this recipe because well you know me (I'm obsessed with my job!). But truly this was so quick that I think this was done in around 10 minutes.
And I'll amend my perfect day off to include snacking on these Bird's Nest Cookies in the afternoon too!
So tell me Dear Reader, what does your perfect day consist of? And have you ever made Bird's Nest cookies? And have you watched The Lincoln Lawyer?
