No sooner do I ask for it than I find it…here it is for anyone who might want it:
Bird’s Nest Snacks
3 cups miniature marshmallows
3 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. peanut butter
1 can (5 oz.) chow mein noodles
36 pastel jelly beans or M & M’s
12 pastel paper cupcake liners
In a heavy saucepan over low heat, cook marshmallows, butter and peanut butter until marshmallows are melted; stir until blended. Remove from heat and stir in chow mein noodles. Divide into 12 mounds on a waxed paper-lined pan.
With lightly buttered hands, quickly shape each mount into a next; make an indentation in the center. Fill nests w/ jelly beans or M&M’s. Trim 1/2″ from each cupcake liner; place nests in liners. Store in an airtight container.
Yield: 1 dozen
I’ll probably double this and add in some chocolate simply b/c I can’t resist!
Happy Easter!
