It's Time for My Easter Nests

It's that time of year to make my favorite Easter treats.
 ( reposting from last Easter)




These nests are so easy to make and taste great!





You'll need a 1/4 cup of butter, a bag of chow mein noodles and a bag of marshmallows.  





Melt 1/4 cup of butter and 2 cups of marshmallows on the stove for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Once the marshmallows are melted, turn the heat off and add 4 cups of chow mein noodles.  Mix thoroughly.









Use a really clean muffin tin.  Rub butter in each spot.




Put a bit of the mixture in each spot.   Use butter on your clean hands too so you can push the mixture around to create the nest.  This recipe makes about 15 nests.  If you want to make more, buy two bags of chow mein noodles for each bag of marshmallows.


Put them in the freezer for a couple of hours, then carefully remove the nests with a butter knife.






I put some parchment paper down, then put the nests on that.  





Add M&M's, Robin's Eggs or jelly beans as the 'eggs' and you're done!



Thanks for your visit!

  5. Oh these are cute! I'll have to remember to make these for the grands!

    Once they set up; do you have a suggestion for packaging them, ...say we're NOT serving them on a pretty dish like your's.
    Could you twist a little plastic wrap around them?
