Spring-time is one of my favorite times of the year and these Easter Egg Bird Nests are a fun and festive way to celebrate the season. I tend to bake a lot around the holidays, it’s just what I do. Technically this treat isn’t baked, but they are super cute, so I just had to make them.
Crunchy, sweet nests of Chinese Noodles coated in chocolate and peanut butter with a delicious peanut butter egg nestled inside. I came across them on the Tasty Kitchen section of The Pioneer Woman’s website and decided to make them for my family for Easter. I love a good recipe that doesn’t involve a long list of ingredients. Happy Easter, I hope you’ll enjoy them!

These were so cute the kids loved them and it didn’t hurt that they tasted good too, everyone was fighting over the robins eggs and the nest too.
