Such a cute edible decoration!
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 MoreVery cute but not very sweet. I would add some sugar or white corn syrup next time (or use my ranch cookie recipe of sugar/corn syrup/pb.) The nests were a little tricky to form. I wish I had followed other tips for breaking the chow mien noodles up a little bit and/or something to make everything stick together a little better. But they are very cute.

Super cute and easy. I used the noodles but broke them up quite a bit before adding the marshmallow mixture.
Cute and fun - and quick (I didn't use peanut butter)! And I shaped them into 5 larger nests.
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.
Delicious, cute Easter brunch treats! I added a dollop of melted chocolate in the nest for that chocolate peanutbutter flavor.
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
I made this with my 3 year old. She loved making the nests and also enjoyed eating them. I don’t love the flavor (might be better with pretzels?). I also used a muffin pan to for each nest and found that a bit easier (I did make one by hand because mine made 13 nests).
Use pretzels instead of chow mein and break up the pretzels and this was easy and all loved it. I made this for the kids but the adults raved.

I made it as the recipe calls for. Who can go wrong with peanut butter and marshmallows! It was delicious and everybody enjoyed them.
Modified review after second attempt: Cute as decor but WARNING the nests could be inedible - use noodles with “pan-fried” or “steam-fried” on the package. If you can’t eat the noodles straight from the package, don’t use them. I also like the suggestion to use pretzel sticks instead of chow mein noodles.
I made this today for tomorrow's Easter dinner! My grandsons will love it! Very easy. I just followed the recipe. So cute!
Not very tasty and so sticky they were very difficult to handle. Don’t recommend and won’t make again.
Made this recipe with kids aged K-6th grade. Very easy and the kids loved it. We have used chow mein noodles, pretzels (crushed) and Chex cereal (crushed) for the dry ingredient. We skipped the peanut butter and added 1/4 c butterscotch chips to the marshmallow mixture. Make sure to grease the muffin cups generously as well as the kids fingers. The finished product is adorable!
These cookies are very cute but they only taste "eh." I think I would prefer to use rice crispies or corn flakes. I did add a little vanilla extract to improve the flavor.
I will make this again. Must have tasted great, everyone was arguing for the last piece. I made this following the recipe exactly.
Fun and easy bird's nests!
I mixed one 5 oz. can of La Choy Chow Mein Noodles (about 2 cups) with 2 cups of pretzels sticks. I broke the noodles and pretzels up as suggested in reviews. I mixed the ingredients as shown with a pinch of cinnamon. It was time-consuming to form these into balls so I put them in a lightly greased muffin tin. Be sure to press these nests down and together when you are pressing them into a muffin tin. While I was forming the nests I heated some chocolate chips in a small cup in a small pan of water. After I had all the nests made I put a dollop of melted chocolate in the middle of each nest. I then put M&M's peanut butter eggs and Hershey's candy-coated eggs in the center of each nest. This recipe made 18 nests. I liked the taste combination of the noodles and pretzel sticks. The dollop of chocolate and the chocolate eggs in the center gave it some "sweet" for those of you who didn't think it was sweet enough. My friends think I'm talented, I think it was a good recipe. This was easy although I could have been a little neater with the chocolate.
I thought the kids would really like these . I was wrong. The noodles were their real complaint. Next time I'll use Rice Krispies.
Really cute. My friend and I made them together. She had bought a bag of really fine noodles and my were quite big. Choose the finer, easier to work with cuter. HELPFUL HINT: Coat your hands with oil and before each next run you hands under water and gentle pat dry. If you don't do this?? Good Luck!
Super cute. Don’t forget to butter your hands before forming nests. I shaped the nests and put them in a buttered cup cake pan to cool and hold their shape.
Sooo fun and my granddaughters loved it! I plan to put butterscotch in place of the chocolate chips too. Easy peasy!
This was easy to make and came out so cute. I actually got to taste one since I had a few extras and it was pretty yummy. I gave them as Easter presents to all of my nieces and their significant other. They loved them! AND they are all in their 20’s
Hard and flavourless. No one ate them - wouldn't make again. IF you just want them for decoration, then they are fine.
I did this with my kids near Easter-time. It was great & they had fun eating bird's nests!
Delicious! We used pretzel sticks and broke them in half. Fun for the kids SUPER STICKY.
Had a great time making these with my grandson. He loved eating them too. Looked great on the table on Easter.
Such a cute, easy little treat to make for Easter and the kids loved them!! Will definitely make again next year.
Easy to make but what a mess!!! So sticky and hard to shape into a nest.
One of my Easter desserts. So easy and sooo cute. With marshmallows, peanut butter and chocolate what could be more delicious! May use a few less marshmallows as the can of noodles wasn’t quite 3 cups.
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.
So easy to make and incredibly adorable! They tasted as good as they looked. Everyone loved them and thought they were the cutest little things. Thank you!
Delicious and adorable! I added 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips to make it more brown . Also, use warm water on your finger tips to form the nests. Adults and kids loved them.
I used the recommendation and formed the nests in muffin tins, which made it easy. Next time I will try some melted chocolate to line the nests, to add a chocolate flavor and to help hold the eggs in place. Very cute!
