1. Place a sheet of waxed paper on your workspace where the nests can cool and the chocolate harden.
2. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler (in my case a bowl placed over a large pot of water on med/high heat). Use a spatula to stir them every now and again until all are melted.

3. Add the chow mein noodles and mix throughly.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the noodle/chocolate mixture onto the wax paper, slightly shaping them into nests.
5. Sprinkle a few jellybean 'eggs' on top of each 'nest.'
6. Allow the nests to cool and harden for an hour or so before enjoying.
You can also use milk or dark chocolate chips as well as butterscotch chips, depending upon your family's personal preference. They're the perfect springtime treat!
