TIGERS

Elective 25 Snack time

Edible Birds Nest Ingredients:
Chow mein noodles, chocolate chips or brick chocolate, Jelly beans, candy coated chocolate eggs, marshmallow chicks, peanut butter, wax paper, paper plates

Place wax paper onto to plates.  Melt chocolate until it’s just melted.  Pour melted chocolate over chow mein noodles in a large bowl, mix together to coat the noodles with chocolate.

Place a handful of the mixture onto the plates (on top of waxed paper).  Once the mixture cools a bit, form them into nests. Don't wait too long to form the nests or it will harden!  Use peanut butter to "glue" down jelly beans and other candies inside the nest.
