*EASTER NESTS*

Category: Candy

1 2/3 to 2 cups (11- to 12-oz pkg) butterscotch or semisweet chocolate morsels
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 (5 oz) cans chow mein noodles
30 to 60 foil-covered chocolate eggs, any flavor

Line trays with waxed paper.

Microwave morsels in large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on medium-high (70%) power for 1 minute; stir. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted. Stir in peanut butter until well blended.

Add chow mein noodles to morsel mixture; toss until coated. Using ice cream scoop that measures about 2 rounded tablespoons, scoop and drop onto prepared trays, then immediately shape into nests. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Before serving, place one or two foil-chocolate eggs in each nest. Store prepared nests in covered container for up to 1 day. Makes 30 nests.
