Bird Nests Iii (with Jellybeans)

Ingredients and Directions

4 cups chow mein noodles

3 cups miniature marshmallows

3 tablespoons butter

30 small jellybeans

Line a cookie sheet with foil and grease with spray-on cooking oil.

Pour noodles into a large bowl. Melt the butter and marshmallows over

medium heat, stirring until smooth. Pour marshmallow mixture over noodles,

stirring until well coated. Rub some butter on hands and form noodle mixture

into six round balls.

Place balls on prepared cookie sheet. With the back of a teaspoon, press the

center of each ball to make a hollow indentation. Let nests set until they are

firm. Fill each with small jelly beans. (Other small candies of your choice

may be substituted, such as M & M's, small gumdrops, chocolate covered

raisins, chocolate covered peanuts, etc.)
