Submitted by: Amanda Formaro

This fun craft is not only adorable when done, but it's tasty too! Sit
the kids down to make this fun spring project. Be sure to make extras
for friends and family.
Ingredients:
- Chow mein noodles
- chocolate chips or brick chocolate
- Jelly beans
- candy coated chocolate eggs
- marshmallow chicks
- peanut butter
- wax paper
- paper plates (colored plates optional)
Directions:
Place squares of wax paper onto to individual plates. Put chow mien
noodles in a large bowl. If using brick chocolate, break into pieces.
Melt chocolate chips or pieces in the microwave, or over low heat on
stove, just until melted. Pour melted chocolate over chow mien noodles,
mix together to coat.
Place mounds of chocolate/chow mien mixture onto several plates (on top
of waxed paper). Have children form the mixtures into nests. Be sure the
chocolate has cooled, but don't wait too long or it will harden!
Using peanut butter as an adhesive, "glue" down the jelly beans and
candy coated chocolate eggs inside the nest cavity. "Glue" marshmallow
chick on the edge of or inside of the nest.
These make fun gifts from kids to their friends, teacher and family
members. You can also make these nests at birthday parties as a fun and
edible take home party favor.
