Bird Nests

When I was a little girl, I often made little chocolate birds nests with my mom at Easter time, so I was excited when she invited Grace and Charlie over to make some last week. They had a great time helping make them, mostly because there was a lot of tasting involved! The nests are really fun and easy to make.

First you break up some Shredded WheatCharlie (who tends to love healthy foods) sampled a lot of this ingredient!
Then you melt chocolate chips, stir in some peanut butter, and add it to the Shredded Wheat.

Grace sampled a lot at this point! (And so did her mom!)
Then you shape the mixture into nests and add jelly bean eggs.Charlie put all of his "eggs" into one nest.Such fun and pretty treats!
