I got my inspiration for these birds' nests from a cupcake bakery in Homewood, AL called Dreamcakes Bakery.
They make the most amazing cupcakes, and I'm already searching for an excuse to go back. They also had some chocolate nests filled with chocolate eggs that I tried to recreate for Easter. I think they turned out really cute, and they are delicious as well. I used my mom's recipe for hay stacks and "glued" a couple of chocolate mini Cadbury eggs to the nests with chocolate.
Chocolate Birds' Nests
Ingredients:
12-ounce package semi-sweet chocolate chips
6-ounce package thin style chow mein rice noodles
Large bag of mini Cadbury eggs
Directions:
Spray PAM in a mini muffin pan.
Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler (save about 10 chips for gluing the eggs to the nest)
Stir in the rice noodles until all of the noodles are covered.
Drop a heaping tablespoon into each muffin space and make a small dent in the top for the eggs. Place in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes or until they have hardened. Once they are firm, use a knife to help pop them out. Melt the extra chocolate chips and "glue" the eggs onto the nests.
If you don't have a mini muffin pan (or if you don't want to mess it up), drop a heaping tablespoon onto a piece of wax or parchment paper. Then "glue" the eggs on with extra melted chocolate.

These are so cute!
Yum, Yum! These are cute AND delicious. It's hard to eat just one! :-}
I have real bird eggs that must have hatched because they're chirping all the time! I think the sounds are coming from the wreath on my front door with the nest that was built last year!
Illu.
