I made these with my daughter to take to shared lunch at school. Instead of jelly beans we used Cadburys mini speckled eggs to give them an Easter look. Fun and easy to make and look super.

This is such a cute Spring recipe. My daughter & I made these for Easter, and used Runts freckled eggs instead of jelly beans. Because some complained about the lack of taste, I added some cinnamon to the marshmallow mixture before tossing in the noodles and that added a nice flavor. These are great, and not too sweet when all the other Easter candy is available!

Had such a great time with these! Made them with my children for their pre-school Easter party. We used butterscotch morsels and chocolate eggs that have a pastel candy coating. They were such a hit there that I am making another batch now for our Easter dinner. Thanks for the recipe!

These are darling, and were very easy to make with my 3-yr old and his buddy. The muffin tin trick worked perfectly for them. We used broken up pretzel sticks instead of the chow mein and the salty-sweet result was so yummy. I think I will be making more of these this weekend so we have them for our Easter brunch (there's no way these ones will still be around!)

I was SHOCKED at how easy these were to make! They're not the most delicious treat out there, but they sure are cute and made an excellent and impressive addition to our table at Easter brunch. Plus, the kids raved about them. The only thing I did differently was to substitute mini chocolate Robin's Eggs for the jelly beans. Thanks for the great recipe!

These were so cute and easy to make. My son loved helping me put mini-robin eggs in the nests while they were still warm and we put a peeps chick on top too. So cute!!

These were a blast to make with my girls...but they were really had to choke down. The girls wouldn't eat anything but the Robin's Eggs we put in them. I think I would follow previous suggestions to coat or drizzle with chocolate and maybe double the marshmallows! Otherwise, got cute pictures with the kids making them!!

These are sweet little treats! They are very easy to make but unfortunately they look better than they taste. I will definitely make them again. Next time I will try adding peanut butter as someone suggested, or perhaps drizzling with chocolate, or coating in chocolate instead of marshmallows.

These are so cute and fun to make. They taste okay, but the kids really don't care how they taste! I saw another recipe in a book with butterscotch chips, peanut butter, corn flakes and the same noodles as this recipe. I'll have to give it a try and compare them. I also like the fact that they don't require much time or many ingredients. I'll definitely keep this recipe on hand for future Easters.

just darling and very good flavor. I made 2 batches; first batch as written in the muffin tins, and found that the nests are quite thick and big. Made the second batch with the suggestion of Breeze and added a few tbsp of peanut butter. With the second batch, I just free-formed them onto parchment paper. No sticking at all, and with the fingertips wet, they were easy to mold into little nests making them a little smaller and got more out of the batch. Used 'peeps' rabbits in some, marshmallow chicks in others, and cadbury pastel chocolate eggs. I like the chocolate flavor with the nest. Love the versatility of this recipe. Could also add some butterscotch morsels to the marshmallow/butter mixture, or chocolate chips. So cute and easy! Nice presentation on the Easter goodie trays. thanks for the recipe.
