With Spring on the horizon (I'm hoping!!), I've been in the mood to whip up some spring-y treats...my latest creation in the kitchen is a spinoff of "haystacks", the cute, seasonal, and yummy treats that include chow mien noodles, chocolate, and butterscotch. I took the basic haystack recipe and instead of making bunches that resemble haystacks, I formed the mixture into "birdnests". With some Robins Egg candy, they make a fun gift, party favor, or just a simple dessert.
Quick and easy recipe:
10-12 oz. bag chocolate chips
10-12 oz. bag butterscotch chips
1/2 bag chow mien noodles (this can vary, depending on how much you want them coated in the chocolate and butterscotch)
Heat chocolate and butterscotch (works best on the stove), stirring until melted together. Add chow mien noodles and stir into chocolate/butterscotch mixture, coating noodles evenly. Scoop out noodles onto wax paper and form into "birdnest" shapes. (I found my first couple looked better than the rest, probably because the chocolate/butterscotch mixture was still warm and easily formed.) Cool completely, remove from wax paper, add Robins Eggs, and serve. Yum!!
Jefferson was VERY interested in them too :)
