chocolate nests

(pastryaffair.com)

i totally forgot to post last month

because it was during my 

non-sweets period,

I must have put it out of my mind

and this is why

two words

CHOCOLATE and PEANUT BUTTER

do i have your attention?

 1 cup of chocolate chips

1/2 cup of peanut butter

3 cups of crunchy chow mein noodles

and candy eggs of any kind (i used chocolate)

double boil your chocolate

I always add a couple drops of olive oil to make it smooth

add your peanut butter and mix

turn off the heat, add your chow mein noodles and mix

and add spoonfuls of the crunchy choc-nut goodness to muffin cups

or shape it yourself on some wax paper

use some sort of spoon

to press down a circular indent in the center

for the eggs

refrigerate for at least 30 minutes

and add your eggs

great snack for easter, but we happened to be studying the letter Nn 

so we made little Nn flags for our nests and shared them with some friends

Happy Customers!

we even made a special one for Daddy

I love pinning things for my kids, 

they enjoy things with these two words

and I enjoy things with these

 

so put the two together and

you've got yourself a WINNER

four things

1. paint, I used acrylic, but tempera works great

2. masking tape

3. white sheet of paper

4. 1 gal. zip-loc freezer bag

 squirt some paint into your bag

one color

two colors

three colors

as many as your kids desire

try to get all the air out

and then zip!

place a sheet of white paper underneath

then tape the entire thing to the table

you can use fingers to make your designs

or use pencil erasers like we did

we used this craft to work on writing

and color mixing

needed the table for eating to so we moved them to the sliding door

Thank you hippiehousewife!

you're a genius!

Happy Pinning

Linking up with Jessica!
