Bird's Nests
1 bag Reeses peanut butter chips (10 oz.)
1 tablespoon solid shortening (Crisco)
1 large can (5 oz.) LaChoy thin chow mein noodles
1 bag pastel colored M&M peanut candy
Melt entire bag of chips and 1 tbsp. of shortening slowly in
microwave or in double boiler on stove top. If using microwave, heat
full power in intervals of 30 seconds at a time and then less as
chips begin to melt. You want the chips and shortening to be well
blended, creamy, and hot. Do Not Overcook!
Immediately pour the can of chow mein noodles into the peanut butter
mixture and toss lightly to coat noodles. Avoid crunching noodles.
Do this quickly, making sure the noodles are evenly coated. Drop by
spoonfuls onto wax paper and gently form into the shape of a nest,
leaving a hollowed area in the center in which you immediately place
three M&M peanut candies for the "birds eggs". Each batch makes
approximately 14 nests.
