Spring Nest
Ingredients:
• 1 large can of chow mein noodles
• 4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tsp. shortening
• "Peeps" (marshmallow chicks)
• some sort of egg-shaped candy
   (jellybeans, M&M's, etc.).
Directions:

     bowl in the microwave (usually about 1
     min. to 1 1/2 min.). Sitr frequently to
     avoid burning.
2.  Pour in the noodles & stir till coated.

3.  Drop big spoonfuls on dessert paper
     plates. Let kids form into 'nests'.
4.  Add eggs & marshmallow chicks as
     desired.
5.  Place in fridge for 30 min. to harden.

6.  Eat & enjoy!!
