CHOCOLATE BUTTERSCOTCH CANDY (BIRD'S NESTS)
These are a childhood favorite. These cookies/candies were always on my Mema's Holiday Cookie List. The mixture of butterscotch chips, chocolate and chow mein noodles is so satisfying. A perfect dessert to introduce kids to the kitchen with.

Steps:
- 1. Heat chocolate and butterscotch chips in a double boiler or in the microwave about 4 minutes or until the chips are smooth.
- 2. Stir in chow mein noodles until they are thoroughly coated.
- 3. Use a tablespoon to place spoonfuls of the mixture on a waxed paper lined baking dish
- 4. Allow the candy to cool until the chocolate/butterscotch has hardened
- 5. These are also known as bird nests. A fun suggestion is to place the mixture on a waxed paper making a small indentation in the center of the candy to serve as a "nest". Place colorful jelly beans or robin's eggs candy into the indentation and voila! Bird's nests!
CHOCOLATE BIRD NESTS
I got this recipe from my sister. She is so fortunate to have the really cool craftsy gene! This is great for an Easter idea, kids (old and young alike) will love these! A nice combination of sweet and salty too.
