Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Chocolate chips
Melt into a glossy, firm base that holds the noodles together as the nest sets.
Butterscotch chips
Add sweetness and a buttery flavor that balances the chocolate.
Chow mein noodles
Provide crunch and bulk, giving the candy its nest-like texture.
Cadbury eggs
Add a sweet, creamy center that contrasts with the crisp base.

The step that matters

Melt the chips over low heat. Chocolate and butterscotch can scorch or seize when overheated, turning grainy and thick. Gentle heat keeps them smooth and fluid enough to coat the noodles evenly and set glossy.
