How To Make Our Butterscotch Birds Nest Treats Recipe:
When you are ready to make these butterscotch birds nests, get out a large glass bowl.
Then pour the butterscotch chips and white chocoalte chips in and place it in the microwave.
Start by cooking the chips for 30 second intervals, being sure to stop and mix them every time.
Once it is nice and smooth it is done. This generally takes about 2 minutes or so.
After the chips have completely melted, carefully add the chow mein noodles in and gently fold the noodles into the melted chips.
When all the noodles are covered in white chocolate butterscotch goodness, then you are ready to start building the nest.
Place a piece of wax paper on your counter or a cookies sheet, and take a small scoop of the chow mein noodle mixture and then form it into a small nest with your hands.
Continue doing this until you have used up all of the noodle mixture.
Then place the eggs on top (I like to do 2-3 depending on the size) and then let them set up.
Once the nests have hardened, then you are good to go!
