Bird's Nest Treats

Have these treats ready in the spring after a family outing when you're trying to help the children spot a robin's nest filled with pretty blue eggs.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter

4 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

4 cups chow mein noodles

1 cup egg-shaped candy (chocolate or jelly beans)

Directions:

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and marshmallows until smooth, stirring occasionally. Add the peanut butter and chocolate chips; heat and stir for 2 minutes or until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in chow mein noodles until well coated. Divide into 12 mounds on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Using fingers, shape each into a nest; press an indentation in the center of the nest. Let cool. Fill each nest with 3 or 4 candy eggs or jelly beans. Yield: 12
