Edible Bird's Nest

Bird Nest Recipe Ingredients:

4 cups chow mein noodles

1/4 cup butter

2 cups mini marshmallows

non-stick cooking spray

candy eggs





Bird Nest Recipe Instructions:


Coat a 12 cup muffin/cupcake pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large pan, melt butter and marshmallows over low heat.

Stir in chow mein noodles until completely coated with marshmallow mixture. This will be similar to rice crispy treats, but not as sticky.

Fill each of the cups in the muffin tin with chow mein noodle mixture, do not overfill.

Spray your hands with non-stick cooking spray and use your hands to gently hollow out the center of each cup, pushing the noodles up the edge of the pan to create a nest.

Cover the muffin pan loosely with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator until set, usually about 1/2 hour.

Remove the nests from the pan and carefully place on your serving tray. Loosely cover again with your plastic wrap and return to the refrigerator until completely set.

Once your nests are set, remove them from the refrigerator and let them dry out a little bit. These treats will be much less fragile as they dry and harden.

You are now ready to fill with your candy eggs and serve or place in cellophane bags.
