EASTER BIRD NESTS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare a muffin tin by spraying it thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray .
• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows and butter. Microwave for 1 minute then remove and stir vigorously. If the marshmallows are not fully melted, microwave for an additional 30 to 45 seconds until the marshmallows are melted. Stir the marshmallow and butter mixture until it is smooth and homogenous.
• Add the vanilla extract and chow mein noodles and stir until the noodles are completely and evenly covered with the mixture. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes until it is cool enough to handle, but still warm enough to manipulate.
• Using a large spoon, evenly divide the chow mein noodles among the 12 muffin tin holes.
• Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray, and mold the noodles into a nest shape, indenting the center and pressing the edges up the sides of the tin.
• Place the nests in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the coconut. Place the coconut in a small bowl and add a drop or two of green food coloring. Using your hands, rub the coconut together until the green color is well-dispersed. (Wear plastic gloves if you don't want to get your hands green-the coloring usually washes out right away, though.)
• Sprinkle the coconut on top of the nests. Add 2 or 3 eggs to each nest, and top them with a Peep. If you are going to be transporting these, you can melt a few chocolate chips and use the melted chocolate to secure the eggs and Peeps to the nest. Otherwise, you can leave them loose and allow people to eat them piece by piece.
• Allow the marshmallow mixture to completely set before removing the nests. To remove them, slide a knife around the sides of the tin and gently insert it under the bottom of the nest to pull it out.
• Enjoy.

EASTER NESTS

Steps:

• You will need 1 baking sheet, lined with oiled foil. Break up the chocolate into small pieces and put it in a glass bowl with the butter. Melt on a medium heat in the microwave for about 2 minutes - I give it a minute, then look to see how much more it might need - or over water. When it's melted, give it a stir, then leave it to one side for a moment or two. You need it to be a bit cooler or it might burn the children's hands. Crumble the shredded wheat into another bowl. Now mix the contents of the two bowls and remove a small handful of messy mixture to the lined baking tray and form into a round nest shape, about 7cm in diamter. Don't worry if you feel it won't stick together: it will as it cools. Leave in a cool place (though not the fridge) until set, then remove to a plate or a wooden board and fill the centre with the eggs (about 5 per nest).
