Yummy Easter Treat: Birds Nests

   Hey Yall' Since tomorrow is Easter, I Thought these would be fun! I don't know if any of you remember these from being little, but I do. So when I saw these again I had to try them. So this is what we'll be makin'.
   
First, you'll need this;
5oz of Chow Mein noodles
11oz of Butterscotch chips
Egg Shaped Candies 


You'll also need:
Cupcake pan w/ liners
Large sauce pan
2 large mixing bowls
Spatula


   Have the Chow Mein noodles in a large bowl, so that once your butterscotch is ready it will not harden. 
   Create a double boiler by heating a few inches of water in a large sauce pan. Then place the second large bowl on top. Pour in the chips and continually stir so they don't get burned. It will look like this when its done.(and it will smell amazing!)
   Mix, the Butterscotch into the noodles until well combined. 
 Using a spoon fill the cupcake pan, press down to form it to the pan. This can be a fun job for young kids it will be messy but still fun. Fill the cups half way full. Go ahead and place 3 candies on the top. Do it right after you make each cup so that the mix is a bit gooey, that way it will hold the candies better once it hardens. 

Let the treats set for a while. Then pull them out of the cupcake pan and unwrap. Enjoy!
