I changed the serving size to use an entire bag of noodles. This recipe made over 2 dozen nests for me. The mixture was kinda goopy too. Not sure what happened but I had to add more noodles to make them stay together. I still think they are going to be pretty cute. As far as the taste, not that great, but the look makes up for it!

I give this 5 for appearance and 4 for taste. I wasn't crazy about the taste but the kids said they were pretty good, must be a kid thing I guess. They looked so pretty. I did add a splash of vanilla to them. I used Jolly Rancher jelly beans. I scaled the recipe to 1 1/2 doz. which then calls for 6 cups of chowmein noodles which equals 1 whole 12 oz bag. Would make for the kids again at Easter.

What a fun Easter treat! I'm a huge fan of peanut butter and loved the flavor, but they are pretty sweet so next time I will probably try to make them a bit smaller. Thanks for posting this cute, festive recipe!
