This week and last, our AOP Horizon curriculum has led us through a pretty in-depth study of birds….one of my favorite subjects, truth be told!
A suggested activity led us to the kitchen one afternoon: Edible birds’ nests!
I’ve seen these before but have never made them with the kids.
A half package of chocolate almond bark, melted, and stirred by eager hands…
Chinese chow mein noodles are added in, just enough so they can all be coated:
Of course, licking the bowl is one of the best parts of the whole thing…
Formed into little “nests” and three (bright!) blue “robin’s eggs” are tucked on top of each:
And the taste test? Received rave reviews (and requests for “just one more”).

My mom makes these at Christmas (without the eggs on top) and they are so yummy….and very easy to make! We call them haystacks :)

Those look great! I make a similar “haystack”: melt 1 cup butterscotch chips, add 1/2 cup peanut butter, mix in 2 cups chow mein noodles. Yum! One time I made them into nests with jelly bean eggs.
