‘White Bird Nest Cookies”…….. (A fun cookie and a favorite of many).
2 cups chowmein noodles
2 cups Corn Flake cereal – (coarsley crushed)
1 – pound white chocolate
1/3 cup M&M peanut candy
Place a sheet of waxed paper on a large cookie sheet. In a large bowl combine noodles and cereal and set aside.
Melt white chocolate in microwave (or in double boiler) and pour over noodles and cereal. Mix with hands to form a nest, mound (approx 2 Tablespoons). Made an indentation in the middle and press 3 M&M’ eggs in the middle while still warm. Allow to set. Make 18 cookies.
*hint* I make mine by my kitchen sink to avoid mess. I put the large bowl in one part of the sink, and another bowl in the other sink filled with water. This way I can rinse my hands as I go. I have a cookies sheet with parchment paper on the counter by the cookie bowl so I can mound the cookie and rinse my hands after. Also, keep a damp hand-towel over the cookie mixture to keep it from drying out. If at anytime the mixture becomes a little dry and hardens…just place in the microwave for 30-60 seconds and it will soften again to make it easy to mound the nests.
Do not move the cookies until dry. After they dry, they willl easily lift off the parchment paper.
