EASTER BIRD NESTS

Easter Bird Nests are a fun, easy Easter candy recipe. Marshmallow Peeps sit on top of chow mein "nests" made with crunchy noodles and marshmallows.

Provided by Elizabeth LaBau

Categories     Dessert     Snack     Candy

Time 32m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
4 tablespoons/2 ounces butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups crispy chow mein noodles
1/4 cup small candy eggs
12 marshmallow Peeps
1/2 cup coconut (shredded)
1 drop green food coloring
Optional: 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Prepare a muffin tin by spraying it thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray .
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows and butter. Microwave for 1 minute then remove and stir vigorously. If the marshmallows are not fully melted, microwave for an additional 30 to 45 seconds until the marshmallows are melted. Stir the marshmallow and butter mixture until it is smooth and homogenous.
  • Add the vanilla extract and chow mein noodles and stir until the noodles are completely and evenly covered with the mixture. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes until it is cool enough to handle, but still warm enough to manipulate.
  • Using a large spoon, evenly divide the chow mein noodles among the 12 muffin tin holes.
  • Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray, and mold the noodles into a nest shape, indenting the center and pressing the edges up the sides of the tin.
  • Place the nests in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the coconut. Place the coconut in a small bowl and add a drop or two of green food coloring. Using your hands, rub the coconut together until the green color is well-dispersed. (Wear plastic gloves if you don't want to get your hands green-the coloring usually washes out right away, though.)
  • Sprinkle the coconut on top of the nests. Add 2 or 3 eggs to each nest, and top them with a Peep. If you are going to be transporting these, you can melt a few chocolate chips and use the melted chocolate to secure the eggs and Peeps to the nest. Otherwise, you can leave them loose and allow people to eat them piece by piece.
  • Allow the marshmallow mixture to completely set before removing the nests. To remove them, slide a knife around the sides of the tin and gently insert it under the bottom of the nest to pull it out.
  • Enjoy.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.
  • Make sure the chocolate melts slowly and evenly. You can do this by microwaving it in short bursts, stirring in between, or by placing it in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.
  • When dipping the nests in chocolate, use a fork to hold them so that you don't get chocolate all over your hands.
  • Let the chocolate-dipped nests cool completely before filling them with candy eggs.
