We made these as part of our Easter activities, but they make a fun activity for spring in general. They are very easy to make and the kids had fun helping put them together.
Here's how to make them.•1 cup chocolate chips ( 6 oz. pkg.)
•1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
•2 cups chow mein noodles
•Jelly beans (or any other egg shaped candy. We used malted robins eggs.)
•1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
•2 cups chow mein noodles
•Jelly beans (or any other egg shaped candy. We used malted robins eggs.)
Put chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave save bowl and heat until melted. For best results heat for about 30 seconds at a time stirring in between. (should take about 2 minutes.) Once melted add chow mein noodles and mix until completely coated. Plop by the spoonful onto wax paper lined cookie sheets. Form into the shape of a nest and add "eggs". Put in fridge for an hour to set.
Enjoy!!
(I've also seen recipes that leave out the peanut butter and a couple that used pretzels or coconut. The possibilities are endless. :-D)
