Easter Treats for Primary...

Some cute treats I made for our Primary for Easter.  I made 72 of these babies!

Here's how to make these cuties...

Makes 12 bird nests

Ingredients:

• 2.5 cups miniature marshmallows
• 4 tbsp (2 ounces) butter
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 can (5 oz) crispy chow mein noodles
• 1/2 cup small candy eggs
• 12 marshmallow peeps
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1 drop green food coloring
• 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
  

1. Prepare a muffin tin by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.

2. 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 30-45 seconds, until the marshmallows are melted. Stir the marshmallow and butter mixture until it is smooth and homogenous.

3. Add the vanilla extract and chow mein noodles and stir until the noodles are completely and evenly covered with the mixture.

4. Using a large spoon, evenly divide the chow mein noodles among the 12 muffin tin holes.

5. Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray, and mold the noodles into a nest shape.

6. Place the nests in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the coconut. Place the coconut into a small bag and add a drop or two of green food coloring. Using your hands, rub the coconut together, through the bag, until the green color is well-dispersed. 

7. Remove the nests from the muffin tins with a knife.  They will come out very easily.

8. Sprinkle the coconut on top of the nests. 

9. Melt white chocolate chips in a Ziploc bag in a microwave.  Cut a tiny hole in the bottom of the bag to pipe the chocolate onto the eggs and Peep.  Add two or three eggs to each nest and secure them with melted white chocolate.  Do the same to a Peep. 

10. These nests are best at room temperature. They can be kept in a wax-paper lined Tupperware container for up to a week, but the Peeps will get stale quickly, so add those at the last minute if you are making these in advance.
