Easy Easter Nests Recipes

EASTER BIRD'S NESTS

Steps:

• Cook and stir marshmallows, peanut butter, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until the marshmallows melt completely into the mixture, about 5 minutes.
• Put chow mein noodles into a large bowl. Pour marshmallow mixture over the chow mein noodles; stir to coat.
• Spray hands with cooking spray or coat with butter so the noodles will not stick to your hands. Scoop noodle mixture from bowl with an ice cream scoop and form into balls, hollowing the center out to create the nest. Arrange 4 chocolate eggs into each nest.

EASY NO BAKE EASTER BIRDS NEST RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt chocolate and peanut butter in the microwave. Heat for 1 minute and stir. Continue to heat for 15-second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted.
• Then add the chow mein noodles in a large mixing bowl and pour the chocolate and peanut butter over the top. Stir until all the noodles are completely coated.
• Using a large tablespoon, drop onto wax paper. Wait about a minute or two and form into nests. Press the end of the spoon a little into the nest to create a dip for the little eggs to rest. But make sure there is no hole on the bottom.
• Place three chocolate eggs on top before it hardens. You have some time here, so no need to rush.
• Let the little nests harden. Pro Tip: place them in the fridge or freezer to harden quicker. Once hardened they are ready to eat.

EASY NO-BAKE EASTER BIRDS NESTS

Steps:

• Lightly oil or grease a regular sized muffin tin (15-20 spots). Melt chocolate and butter (or alternate ingredient) in short bursts in the microwave (20-30 seconds) or set a heatproof bowl above (but not touching the bottom) a pot of simmering water. Add cereal and mix together. Place approximately 1/4 cup of cereal mixture into each muffin hole and form mixture into a nest shape (the easiest way to do this is by using a small ice cream scoop to transfer the cereal mixture then flipping and using the back of it to form the nests). Firm up the nests by chilling in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. Top with any egg treat.
