EASY NO BAKE EASTER BIRDS NEST RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt chocolate and peanut butter in the microwave. Heat for 1 minute and stir. Continue to heat for 15-second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted.
• Then add the chow mein noodles in a large mixing bowl and pour the chocolate and peanut butter over the top. Stir until all the noodles are completely coated.
• Using a large tablespoon, drop onto wax paper. Wait about a minute or two and form into nests. Press the end of the spoon a little into the nest to create a dip for the little eggs to rest. But make sure there is no hole on the bottom.
• Place three chocolate eggs on top before it hardens. You have some time here, so no need to rush.
• Let the little nests harden. Pro Tip: place them in the fridge or freezer to harden quicker. Once hardened they are ready to eat.

• Put chow mein noodles into a large bowl. Pour marshmallow mixture over the chow mein noodles; stir to coat.
• Spray hands with cooking spray or coat with butter so the noodles will not stick to your hands. Scoop noodle mixture from bowl with an ice cream scoop and form into balls, hollowing the center out to create the nest. Arrange 4 chocolate eggs into each nest.

EASTER BIRD NESTS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare a muffin tin by spraying it thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray .
• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows and butter. Microwave for 1 minute then remove and stir vigorously. If the marshmallows are not fully melted, microwave for an additional 30 to 45 seconds until the marshmallows are melted. Stir the marshmallow and butter mixture until it is smooth and homogenous.
• Add the vanilla extract and chow mein noodles and stir until the noodles are completely and evenly covered with the mixture. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes until it is cool enough to handle, but still warm enough to manipulate.
• Using a large spoon, evenly divide the chow mein noodles among the 12 muffin tin holes.
• Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray, and mold the noodles into a nest shape, indenting the center and pressing the edges up the sides of the tin.
• Place the nests in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the coconut. Place the coconut in a small bowl and add a drop or two of green food coloring. Using your hands, rub the coconut together until the green color is well-dispersed. (Wear plastic gloves if you don't want to get your hands green-the coloring usually washes out right away, though.)
• Sprinkle the coconut on top of the nests. Add 2 or 3 eggs to each nest, and top them with a Peep. If you are going to be transporting these, you can melt a few chocolate chips and use the melted chocolate to secure the eggs and Peeps to the nest. Otherwise, you can leave them loose and allow people to eat them piece by piece.
• Allow the marshmallow mixture to completely set before removing the nests. To remove them, slide a knife around the sides of the tin and gently insert it under the bottom of the nest to pull it out.
• Enjoy.
