owls live in nests but people EAT nests...chocolate nests that is!
one of our "good friday" morning activities consisted of this...making chocolate nests! these are sooo sooo soooooo yummy! just ask the kids! (see recipe below)
1. pour 1 can sweetened condensed milk into a glass bowl. add a bag (about 12 oz) of chocolate chips (we used milk choc). microwave at low power until the chips melt.
2. remove bowl from microwave and stir in about 5 oz of chow mein noodles. mix well with the chocolate.
3. cover a cookie sheet with waxed paper. drop spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture onto the paper. press the mixture into the shape of a nest. (should make about 8 nests, depending on how big you want them!)
4. add a few jellybeans or "robin eggs"...we used robin eggs. form these eggs into the center of your nests.
5. chill the nests for several hours.
6. eat and enjoy! yum yum!
here are 6 of our creations...we got 9 (this size) out of the recipe and shared with some of our friends!
fun kids...fun stuff!
off to the next thing...kite flying and swimming!
