CHOCOLATE BUTTERSCOTCH CANDY (BIRD'S NESTS)
These are a childhood favorite. These cookies/candies were always on my Mema's Holiday Cookie List. The mixture of butterscotch chips, chocolate and chow mein noodles is so satisfying. A perfect dessert to introduce kids to the kitchen with.

Steps:
- 1. Heat chocolate and butterscotch chips in a double boiler or in the microwave about 4 minutes or until the chips are smooth.
- 2. Stir in chow mein noodles until they are thoroughly coated.
- 3. Use a tablespoon to place spoonfuls of the mixture on a waxed paper lined baking dish
- 4. Allow the candy to cool until the chocolate/butterscotch has hardened
- 5. These are also known as bird nests. A fun suggestion is to place the mixture on a waxed paper making a small indentation in the center of the candy to serve as a "nest". Place colorful jelly beans or robin's eggs candy into the indentation and voila! Bird's nests!
CHOCOLATE NESTS
Steps:
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl in the microwave 2 to 3 minutes. Coat the pretzel sticks in the chocolate and arrange them into nests on a parchment or wax paper-lined surface. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set, then add the chocolate egg candies.

Steps:
- I've estimated the bag size but you want to have approximately equal amounts of each ingredient.
- Spread the shredded coconut in a baking pan and toast in the oven at 400° until a shade darker than golden brown (maybe 5 minutes or so I think- I never time it, just go by the color really.) Melt chocolate chips in microwave, stirring occasionally until melted.
- (Don't over cook these or the chocolate will burn and become permanently solid) Stir coconut and chocolate together until all coconut is covered.
- Drop by small spoonfuls onto wax paper and refrigerate until solid.
- --I don't like semisweet chocolate in this recipe.
- Milk or dark chocolate tastes better in my opinion, but use whatever you like.
