Delicious! And, so simple!! (I did the microwave method.) I also substituted original-flavoured potato sticks for the chow mein noodles, as suggested by Steve. As they look like little birds' nests, I think I'll try them again for Easter and put little jelly beans ("eggs") in the centre.

Perfect! My grandfather used to make these and this recipe fit the bill for repeating what he did. I was able to "stretch" the recipe by using 1 and 1/4 cups chow mein noodles with the 3/4 c peanut butter and 11 oz bag of chips. I also skipped the marshmellows. Thank you for posting this easy treat!

This is one of my favorite recipes of all times!!! My daughter had to make a snack for her class that started with the letter N, so we used this recipe and made nests, we filled them with speckled jelly beans. They look adorable!
