marshmallow chicks
peanut butter
wax paper
paper plates (colored plates optional)

Instructions

1. Place squares of wax paper onto to individual plates.
2. Put chow mien noodles in a large bowl.

4. Pour melted chocolate over chow mien noodles, mix together to coat.
5. Place mounds of chocolate/chow mien mixture onto several plates (on top of waxed paper).
6. Have children form the mixtures into nests. Be sure the chocolate has cooled, but do not wait too long or it will harden!
7. Using peanut butter as an adhesive, "glue" down the jelly beans and candy coated chocolate eggs inside the nest cavity.
8. "Glue" marshmallow chick on the edge of or inside of the nest.
9. 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.
