• 7 oz. jar of marshmallow creme
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 3/4 tbsp. butter, melted

• 2 1/2 chow mein noodles
• 1 cup Plain M&M's, chopped
• 1 cup Peanut M&M's

• Chop the Plain M&M's into smaller pieces using a large knife. Walking the knife across the candy in a similar manner to chopping herbs works fairly well. Set the chopped candies aside to be added later.

• Add the marshmallow creme, peanut butter, and melted butter to a mixing bowl and beat until evenly mixed.

• Add the chow mein noodles and the chopped M&M's to the creamed mixture and stir in by hand.

• Stir mixture until the chow mein noodles and M&M's are coated evenly.

• Using a heaping tablespoon of the mixture, drop a mound onto a lightly buttered cookie sheet.

• With buttered fingers, form each mound into a rounded shape and make an indent in the middle to make them look like little nests.

• Add Peanut M&M's to each nest to make them look like they are filled with eggs. Set them aside to allow them to firm up.

• Use the nests to dress up your Easter table by placing a nest at each place setting or just add the nests in with your other Easter treats.

• 12 oz. package of white chocolate chips
• 2 tsp. vegetable oil
• 2 cups chow mein noodles, plus additional if needed

• 1 cup of shredded coconut
• Easter Peanut M&M's to fill nests

• Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper.

• Melt the white chocolate chips over low heat. Do not use too high of heat because if the chocolate overheats it may separate and become grainy.

• Stir the white chocolate until it is all melted.

• Remove from the heat and add the vegetable oil. Stir until the white chocolate is creamy and smooth.

• Add the chow mein noodles and coconut. Stir these ingredients into the white chocolate until evenly coated. If the mixture seems a little too moist to be able to form the nests, add a few more chow mein noodles. Start by adding no more than an additional 1/4 cup.

• Divide the mixture into 8 even amounts. Place them on the parchment lined cookie sheet and use your hands to shape them into nest with a hollowed out center.

• Once all the nests are shaped, place them in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes to harden before filling.

• Remove from the refrigerator and fill each nest with Peanut M&M's or other Easter candy, such as jelly beans.

• The candy nests will make a nice addition to any Easter centerpiece or candy dish.
