These are so pretty as an Easter treat. I've seen these topped with "Peeps" as well. They're a fun, but messy project but who doesn't mind licking chocolate off of their fingers??? Choose your favorite flavor of Jelly Bellys to decorate them with and then drop a few Jelly Bellys on the serving place as garnish. The original recipe is from my grandmother - adapted to make Easter Egg Nests.

32 -34 nests (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package chow mein noodles
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 ounces jelly, bellys

Directions

1
Melt chocolate with oil.
2
Pour over chow mein noodles and mix well.
3
With a large cookie scoop drop onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet and make a depression to shape into 2 1/2" to 3" nests.
4
Let cool until chocolate it's firm.
5
Top each nest with 4 Jelly Bellys.

I really like this recipe because it does not include peanut butter in the ingredients. That is always a challenge when you have little ones with peanut allergies! I did use half butterscotch chips and half semi-sweet chocolate to give it a nice flavor and color. Shaping is not as easy as it looks, but overall, very fun! Like DebS said, who doesn't love licking chocolate off their fingers!
