Easter Egg Nests

We visited a family farm a few days ago, and got to meet ten most precious little baby goats.  It was amazing how different each of them were.  I love Spring.  I love the new life everywhere you look ~ plants, animals.... ahhh.


And, this Sunday we will celebrate Easter, and the new life we can have because of the cross.  I try to make sure my kids know the real reason we celebrate Easter, but it's also nice to have some fun.  And these cookies are the perfect little treat for the kiddos.

They are super fast and easy to make.  A great one to enlist the help of the kids.  And, you can make the flavor to suit your individual taste!



Easter Egg Nests:

1 1/2 cups chips ( I used 1 cup semi sweet chocolate and 1/2 cup butterscotch)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 bag chow mein noodles
Easter egg shaped candies, such as Reese's eggs, Peanut butter M&M's, or Whopper eggs

Dump noodles into a large mixing bowl.

In a small saucepan, melt the chips and peanut butter over low heat, stirring constantly.  Once completely melted, pour over noodles and stir til completely covered.

Spread a large sheet of parchment paper or wax paper, then begin to mound your balls of cookies.  Place 3 eggs in the center of each ball.

Let sit until firm. Enjoy!  These are really yummy :)
