How To Make Butterscotch Birds Nest Treats

- Once the chips are melted, stir chips until smooth and gently fold in the chow mein noodles.
- On a piece of wax paper, take a small scoop of the chow mein noodle mixture and form a small nest with your hands.
- Place the eggs on top.

Storing and Other Tips
Store these Nests in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
When making the cookie, you need to give it time to set up. However if you are running short on time, place them in the fridge to help them harden faster.
Think ahead if you want to place them in the fridge or let them set on the counter before you start scooping. On the counter, just place the wax there. In the fridge, put the wax on a cookie sheet.
To keep your hands from getting too sticky and chocolaty, run your hands under water for a second first or spray them with nonstick cooking spray.

omg my grandmother used to make these for us growing up…total nostalgia moment over here! So cute 🙂
Saw these just before heading to the store. I got the ingredients and made them with my family. They will make a nice addition to treat baskets.
For the bird’s nest recipe do you melt the butterscotch chips and the white chocolate chips separate or do it together make it?
You put them together in a bowl to melt.
Help! I’m making these and while melting the chocolate in the microwave, it’s like the chocolate is getting hard. Any ideas🤷🏻♀️

Sounds like your chocolate was exposed to moisture and seized, over possibly overcooked. Best to stir at 30 second intervals. Stop cooking when it’s smooth.
