Steps:
- 1. Heat chocolate and butterscotch chips in a double boiler or in the microwave about 4 minutes or until the chips are smooth.
- 2. Stir in chow mein noodles until they are thoroughly coated.
- 3. Use a tablespoon to place spoonfuls of the mixture on a waxed paper lined baking dish
- 4. Allow the candy to cool until the chocolate/butterscotch has hardened
- 5. These are also known as bird nests. A fun suggestion is to place the mixture on a waxed paper making a small indentation in the center of the candy to serve as a "nest". Place colorful jelly beans or robin's eggs candy into the indentation and voila! Bird's nests!

Steps:
- 1. Put the butterscotch chips in a glass bowl and melt in the microwave. The amount is completely optional, I used the entire bag.
- 2. Once the chips are melted, stir in the chow mein noodles.
- 3. On a piece of parchment paper, take a small scoop of the chow mein noodle mixture and form a small nest with your hands. Place the eggs on top.
- 4. Do not refrigerate, just leave uncovered on parchment paper to dry.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the butterscotch mixture, or it will become too hard.
- Let the butterscotch mixture cool completely before shaping it into nests.
- If the butterscotch mixture is too sticky to handle, chill it for a few minutes before shaping it.
- Use a variety of toppings for the nests, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit.
- Store the nests in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
