Bird Nests
4 cups Crunchy Chow Mein Noodles
1/4 cup Butter
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 pkg Mini Robin Egg candy
Package of Peeps
Cooking Spray
Use a 6 or 12 cup muffin tin depending on desired size of
nests. We made only 6 nest with this recipe so we could overlap the top
and give an "edge" for our bird to sit on.
1. Heat butter and marshmallows over medium heat
2. Stir till melted
3.
Add noodles and stir till completely coated
4. Spray muffin tin then
hands with cooking spray.
5. Place mixture into muffin cups and
shape with hands to form "nests".
6. Refrigerate approximately 30
minutes later, gently remove nests from muffin tin and perch a Peep on the side.
It helps if the nest is still a bit sticky, this will "glue" the peep on.
7. Place nests on a tray and put back
in the fridge till completely set.
8. Fill with candy eggs.
You could serve these right away or
wrap them in a pretty cellophane bag and give them as a gift.
Actual work time: 6-8 minutes
Total time: 45minutes
These
nests are a great project for kids! There are many various recipes
including chocolate and peanut butter but this is the one Joshua thinks looks
the most realistic. It also happens to be the easiest and least time
consuming which makes mommy pretty happy too. We couldn’t seem to find any
yellow peeps, what’s up with that?
