Ingredients:

-Chow mien noodles/ we used 3 c. crushed corn flakes

- 2 cups chocolate chips

-Jelly beans/ we used M&Ms (also known as potty training incentives around these parts! lol)

-Peanut butter

-Wax paper/ We used cupcake wrappers & a muffin tin

Directions:

1. Place cupcake liners in muffin tin.

2. Put chow mien noodles/cornflakes (crush if using cornflakes) in a large bowl.

3. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave, just until melted. (it only takes 45 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes- don't over melt... once you stir the chocolate, the shape of the chips will disappear)

4. Pour melted chocolate over chow mien noodles (cornflakes!), mix together to coat. We used our hands to mix. :) It's more fun & interactive that way.

5. Place mounds of mixture into cupcake liners. Have children form the mixtures into nests. IMPORTANT!!Be sure the chocolate has cooled, but don't wait too long or it will harden!

6. Using peanut butter as an adhesive, "glue" down the jelly beans (M&Ms!).

It's a great way to celebrate Earth Day! These also make fun gifts from kids to their friends, teacher and family members.

I can't wait to see what y'all have been cooking & baking this past week!
