These were so easy to make and very cute. I found it easy to make the nests without a mess, by just using a couple of spoons to drop the mixture and form the nests. Will make again for Easter. Thank you!

These were so cute!!!! I don't know how you got them to look like that though....I had a really hard time using my fingers to shape the nests(everything kept sticking to my fingers). I tried the measuring cup thing and could not get that to work either. I finally cut a piece of wax paper and used that to try to shape the nests. It worked the best but they still did not turn out too pretty(but then again birds nests come in all shapes and sizes...right?) Thanks for a fun recipe but there is no way I would let my kids get into making that mess. LOL

WOW! You know, this recipe caught my eye as soon as I saw it and I decided rightaway that I had to make it today! Luckily for me, I bought chow mein noodles for the first time yesterday evening at Publix. I have never eaten chow mein noodles before, so I really didn't know how this would turn out...but, I was VERY INTERESTED TO TRY! I also had Ghiraldeli's milk chocolate on hand and I substituted the oil with butter. These were so cute when done{I made them at 10:30am and we had them after dinner at 7:30pm}. So, they were refrigerated right from 11am till 7:30pm. These are just so cute and nice! I've made one more batch to share with someone tomorrow
I really am missing not being able to share these with the little kids who were my best friends' in Oman. SIGH! Someday, I will. Thank you so much for posting!

I had so much fun making these little nests. Perfect for easter gift giving! I broke up the chow mein noodles then measured 2 cups. By pressing the mixture in a 1/3 cup measuring cup helped form the nests. To me they tasted like a recipe I make called haystacks. Thanks countrylady for sharing this great idea and one that I will make again.
