Robin's Egg Nests

I use to make these all the time and decided to start up again with the kids for Easter!  These are cute, yummy and so easy (but messy) to make!  Think cereal treats but without the cereal!

3 cups of mini marshmallows
3 tbs. butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups chow mein noodles
Malt robins egg candies, jelly beans or other candy of your choice.

Butter cupcake tin. In large saucepan, melt butter and marshmallows over med heat, stirring frequently. Once melted, stir in vanilla. Add chow mein noodles.   Here comes the fun part!  Get the kids involved, they will love it! Smear butter or crisco all over your hands.  Take a small glob of the mixture and press into one of the cupcake sections, making an indentation in the center. Once you have filled all cupcake sections, fill the centers of your nests with the candy eggs. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the marshmallow to set. This makes approximately 15 nests.
