To celebrate the arrival of spring, our Test Kitchen shaped chocolate-coated chow mein noodles into nests, then filled them with jelly bean "eggs". You may want to make a double batch because they're bound to fly off your table!

These are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped vegetables to the filling, such as celery, carrots, and onions.

I'm not a big fan of wonton wrappers, but these bird's nests were still really good. The filling was flavorful and the wonton wrappers were crispy.

I made these bird's nests for my family and they were a bit too sweet for our taste. Next time I will reduce the amount of sugar in the filling.
