TASTY TUESDAY

Easter is right around the corner! If you're feeling festive and creative, give these a try. Especially perfect if you have an Easter party or dinner to attend on Sunday! Megs and I (Lisa) each made a fun version of our own birds nest.

Ingredients:

6 oz. crispy chow mein noodles

1/2 bag semi sweet chocolate chips (6 oz.)

1/2 bag butterscotch chips (6 oz.)

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 tbs. unsalted butter

36 jelly beans or cadburry eggs

12 peeps (optional)

Directions:

• Generously grease a muffin pan with the butter 
• In a large microwavable bowl heat the chips in 30 second intervals until melted, stirring after each increment
• Add the peanut butter to the chip mixture and stir till it's nice and creamy
• Carefully add the chow mein noodles stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula
• With a large spoon, mold the noodles into the muffin tin, indenting the tops slightly with the back of your spoon
• Chill the nests for an hour or so, until hardened
• Once chilled, remove the nests from the tin using a butter knife
• Put on a cute plate and add three eggs to each nest, and maybe even a peep!

Ingredients:

3 tbs. butter

1 package of regular marshmallows (about 4o or 10 oz.) or 4 cups mini marshmallows

6 cups Kellogs rice crispies

package of chocolate eggs

Directions:

• In large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat
• Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted, remove from heat (or microwave butter and marshmallows on high for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes)
• Add Kellogs cereal and stir until completely coated
• Divide mixture into pre-sprayed muffin tin, shaping each cup
•  Let it cool, then remove the rice crispy cups
• Add 3 cute chocolate eggs to each nest

 Enjoy and make it a great Easter this year!
