Easter Treats, Post Easter...

So I know it is too late to make these for Easter, but they are also a very Spring-friendly kind of treat as well. These are little bird's nests of deliciousness. I have seen them countless times and thought they were cute, but have never looked up a recipe or made them. I tried them with both butterscotch and chocolate chips, and no one really touched the chocolate ones. They really were not nearly as tasty.



Bird's Nests
1 bag chocolate or butterscotch chips
1/4 cup peanut or almond butter
5 oz. chow mien noodles
Chocolate egg candy or jelly beans

Melt chip for 1 minute in microwave; stir. Heat for 15 second intervals until chips stir smoothly; add peanut butter and stir to combine. Add chow mien noodles and stir until coated. Take about 2 Tablespoons and drop on waxed paper, form into nest shape and add candy to look like eggs in a nest. Enjoy!
