Easter Treat


I know this isn't a quick meal recipe, but I was looking for things to do for Visiting Teaching and found this. Looks fun. These look like something tastier than jelly beans for the eggs.


Jelly Bean Nests

2 cups miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup butter
1 (6-ounce) package chow mein noodles

Jelly beans or other egg shaped candy



Combine marshmallows and butter in 2-quart saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted (6 to 8 minutes). Stir in noodles until very well coated.

Press mixture on bottom and up sides of each buttered 12-cup muffin pan cup with buttered fingers.

Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until firm.Remove from cups; fill with jelly beans.

  3. Way to go Nettie. I am going to make a big batch and take them to the Young Women. Now I just need to come up with a poem or saying about Personal Progress to go with it.
