I got this recipe from a childrens cookbook. Original recipe called for peanutbutter chips, but we just love butterscotch. If anybody has peanut allergies you can leave out nuts. The salt or seasalt is a must for these sweet and salty treats.

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 (12 oz.) pkg butterscotch chips
1 large can(s) chow mein noodles
1 pkg candy eggs (i used the "robin's eggs")

Steps:

1. Put the butterscotch chips in a glass bowl and melt in the microwave. The amount is completely optional, I used the entire bag.
2. Once the chips are melted, stir in the chow mein noodles.
3. On a piece of parchment paper, take a small scoop of the chow mein noodle mixture and form a small nest with your hands. Place the eggs on top.
4. Do not refrigerate, just leave uncovered on parchment paper to dry.

Tips:

Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the butterscotch sauce to prevent scorching.
Continuously stir the sauce until it reaches the desired consistency to prevent it from becoming too thick or too thin.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to thin it out.
If the sauce becomes too thin, continue to simmer it over low heat until it thickens.
Use a variety of toppings for the nests, such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut.
Serve the nests immediately after they are made, while the butterscotch sauce is still warm and gooey.
