Fun Spring Treats! Kids love them. 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. You could serve these right away or wrap them in a pretty cellophane bag and give them as a gift.
Ingredients:
4 cups crunchy chow mein noodles
1/4 cup butter
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 (8 ounce) package candy coated chocolate eggs
6 marshmallow peeps
cooking spray
Directions:
1. 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.
2. Heat butter and marshmallows over medium heat.
3. Stir till melted.
4. Add noodles and stir till completely coated.
5. Spray muffin tin then hands with cooking spray.
6. Place mixture into muffin cups and shape with hands to form nests .
7. Refrigerate.
8. 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.).
9. Place nests on a tray and put back in the fridge till completely set.
10. Fill with candy eggs.
