Sometimes a girl just has to have her chocolate...

I had forgotten how much I loved making and EATING chocolate bird nests, until I saw Jodee's blog last week. This is such a fun Easter/Spring dessert.

Ingredients:
Chow mein noodles (you could also use chopped coconut or cereal too)

chocolate chips
Jelly beans
candy coated chocolate eggs
marshmallow chicks
wax paper

Put chow mein noodles in a large bowl. Melt chocolate chips or pieces in the microwave, or over low heat on stove, just until melted and stir.

Pour melted chocolate over chow mein noodles, mix together to coat.

Place mounds of chocolate/chow mein mixture on top of waxed paper. Form the mixtures into nests. Be sure the chocolate has cooled, but don't wait too long or it will harden!

Place candy in center of nests. To speed up the drying process, place in freezer.

YUMMY!!!

PS. I don't even want to admit how many nests the Momma consumed!
