Ingredients
-
1 (10
ounce) Reeses peanut butter chips
-
1 tablespoon
solid shortening
-
1 (5
ounce) can thin chow mien noodles
-
1 bag
pastel colored M&M peanut candy
Method
Melt
entire bag of chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening slowly in microwave
or in double boiler on stove top.
If
using microwave, heat full power in intervals of 30 seconds at a time and
then less as chips begin to melt.
You
want the chips and shortening to be well blended and creamy and hot.
DO
NOT OVERCOOK!!!
Immediately
pour the can of chow mien noodles into the peanut butter mixture and toss
lightly to coat noodles.
Avoid
crunching noodles.
Using
a spatula can help.
Do
this quickly, making sure the noodles are evenly coated.
Drop
by spoonfuls onto WAX PAPER and gently form into the shape of a nest, leaving
a hollowed area in the center in which you immediately place three M&M
peanut candies for the "birds eggs".
Each
batch makes approximately 14 nests.

is a fun recipe to make with the kids*
