To celebrate the arrival of spring, our Test Kitchen shaped chocolate-coated chow mein noodles into nests, then filled them with jelly bean eggs . You may want to make a double batch because they're bound to fly off your table!
Ingredients:
1 package (11-1/2 ounces) milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening
1 can (5 ounces) chow mein noodles
2/3 cup flaked coconut
45 to 60 jelly beans
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and shortening over low heat; stir until smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in the chow mein noodles and coconut until well coated. Divide into 15 mounds on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Shape into nests; press an indentation on the center. Place three or four jelly beans in each nest. Cool. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 15 servings.
