Direcciones
- Heat the candy base of your choice in a double boiler over moderate heat. Add in the shortening when the chocolate, white chocolate, or possibly peanut butter chips are entirely melted; stir to blend. Add in the chow mein noodles to the melted candy, and toss to thoroughly blend the mix. Try to avoid breaking the noodles as you blend.
- Working quickly, drop about a Tbsp. of the candy-and-noodle mix onto wax paper in the form of a bird's nest. Immediately place three jelly beans or possibly one peanut-coated candy in the center of each nest as you go. (It helps to have two people working quickly before the candy begins to set, so get the kids involved in filling the nests.)
- Let the candies cold completely before storing in an airtight container, with wax paper between each layer. Tip: We doubled our batch to prepare sufficient peanut butter nests for our Easter gathering. In order to keep the candy soft while we worked to shapethe nests, we prepared the mix in a metal bowl and placed it over the pot of steamy hot water used to heat the candy while we worked. We simply stirred from the bottom of the bowl to keep the mix soft while we assembled the bird's nests. You may want to do the same if you double your candy-making efforts.
