Crispy Peanut Butter Birds Nests Food

EASTER M+M CRISPY BIRD NEST'S

Steps:

• 1. Combine the marshmallow, peanut butter, melted butter together until well mixed. Stir well.
• 2. Add the chow mein noodles and crushed m+m's. Mix well.
• 3. Using greased fingers form into a nest. Place on greased cookie sheet or parchment lined sheet. Place peanut M+M's in a nest as eggs. Let set until firm. Enjoy!
• 4. I usually make a double batch. One pound bag of M+M's of plain and peanut will be enough for a double batch. These make such a pretty centerpiece on the table or buffet!! Enjoy!

EASTER BIRD'S NESTS

Steps:

• Cook and stir marshmallows, peanut butter, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until the marshmallows melt completely into the mixture, about 5 minutes.
• Put chow mein noodles into a large bowl. Pour marshmallow mixture over the chow mein noodles; stir to coat.
• Spray hands with cooking spray or coat with butter so the noodles will not stick to your hands. Scoop noodle mixture from bowl with an ice cream scoop and form into balls, hollowing the center out to create the nest. Arrange 4 chocolate eggs into each nest.

EASTER BIRDS NESTS (PEANUT BUTTER FREE)

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot adding the vanilla once it's melted.
• Mix in marshmallows.
• Once marshmallows are completely melted and mixed with the butter, add the cornflakes.
• Spray fingers with Baker's joy or butter to avoid sticking. With a spoon place tennis ball-sized portions of the mixture on wax paper, flattening them out and creating a sulcus (for lack of a better word) in the center of each.
• Place a 3 jelly beans in the center of each treat to represent eggs.

CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER-CHOCOLATE BIRDS' NESTS

Steps:

• Microwave chocolate and 1/2 cup peanut butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min. or until chocolate is almost melted. Stir until chocolate and peanut butter are completely melted and mixture is well blended. Add pretzels; mix well.
• Divide crumb mixture among 24 mini muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray, adding about 2 Tbsp. crumb mixture to each cup. Use back of spoon to firmly press crumb mixture onto bottoms and up sides of cups to resemble nests. Freeze 10 min. Meanwhile, beat pudding mix and milk with whisk 2 min. Add remaining peanut butter; mix well.
• Spoon pudding mixture evenly into each nest. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Remove from pan and top with jelly beans just before serving.
