- Add eggs & marshmallow chicks as desired.
- Place in fridge for 30 min. to harden.
- Eat & enjoy!!

NOTE: You can also use butterscotch or white chocolate chips for additional
variety.

"Thought you'd enjoy this variation on the bird's nest
recipe - instead of using choc. chips that can make the nest VERY brown -
try butterscotch chips - this is how my friend makes them (and now me as
well) and my kids love them!" |
