I used pretzels instead of chow mien noodles and this turned out super cute and delicious! Will likely make again in the future. A big hit with the kids! Read More

Hard and flavourless. No one ate them - wouldn't make again. IF you just want them for decoration, then they are fine. Read More

Super cute and easy. I used the noodles but broke them up quite a bit before adding the marshmallow mixture. Read More

This is great. Taste is wonderful. Nests are a little difficult to shape. Next time think I would break the chow neon noodles up a bit smaller. Read More

We added some melted chocolate to the inside of the nests so the eggs stayed put and to sweeten it up a bit more. We also placed a little peep on a few nests Read More

I made it exactly according recipe and it was a hit with my guests. I had trouble forming the nests by hand so I resorted to muffin tins which worked out perfectly. Read More
