Ok so I was on a baking roll last night since I'm such a holiday junkie and loooove to do this kind of stuff! I can't even imagine how I'm going to be when I'm actually a mother! Anyway, these little nests were SO easy to make and a big thanks to A Bicycle Built for Two for sharing the recipe. Seriously! They only took me 5 to 10 minutes! I brought them into work today and my co-workers scarfed them right up.....so I applaud myself :) You can use any type of eggs, I wanted to find the Hershey chocolate eggs, but the store only had Reeses Peanut Butter eggs (shh I'm not complaining). If you'd like to keep them healthier, just use sugar-free jelly beans. No need to bake them, no need to refrigerate them....just whip em up and let them sit :) Happy Easter everyone! And don't worry, I have more goodies coming your way between now and Sunday ;)

*Nutrition value was calculated without the chocolate eggs as you can choose what type of candy you want to use
Here are your ingredients:
12 oz. package chow mien noodles
12 oz. package of white chocolate chips (or you can use butterscotch to make them more brown)
Egg shaped candies
Begin by melting the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, then stir and repeat until candy is melted completely and smooth. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the noodles to the bowl of melted candy and mix (crush them up a bit, but not too much). Use a large spoon or a 1/4 measuring cup to measure out the cookies and place on parchment paper. Place 3 of the candy eggs in the center using some of the melted chocolate as glue. Allow about 5 to 10 minutes to dry and harden.

Chow mein noodles?? I totally thought those were fiber one twigs LOL. Hmmm I might have to try these but with fiber one! Bet they would be delicious that way too! :)
Fiber One would be fantastic I'm sure!! :)
So cute...a wonderful, quick treat.
Kelly these are too cute! I really like that you promote a healthy blog but still fit in treats. For me personally, that balance is important.
