Nesting Out of Season

 In reading a couple of weeks ago, we read a story called, "Get the Egg!" It was planned that we would make edible nests on Friday after reading the story, but cooking time was interrupted. We finally got around to cooking up our nests today, since last Friday we couldn't do it since we had our Fall parade and party.

 

To make a nest, melt chocolate chips in a home-made double-boiler, an electric frying pan with water and a metal bowl sitting in the pan. This works perfect for melting chocolate without burning it.

Stir in Chow Mein Noodles (oops, no picture available).

 

Scoop chocolate covered noodles out on wax paper.

 

Shape your nest.

Put your eggs in. You can use jelly beans, but one of our parents actually found Chocolate covered Robin Eggs for us to use.

 

What kid doesn't love to get MESSY?

 

Be sure to lick your fingers! 

"TahDah! Beautiful nests."

 

Make like a vulture and dive in!
