Easter/Spring Peep Bird Nests

Don't these adorable little Peeps in their bird nests just make you smile?  I made these with my sister Gabby when she was in town visiting from Portland.  It was soo wonderful to see her!!  Just looking at the pictures of the nests makes me miss her!

The nests are made of Rice Krispies and Chow Mein noodles.  You can hold them together with however you like.  I used a mixture of marshmallows and the yummy Oreo White Chocolate Peanut Butter from my last post.  

If you have children or grandkids I would recommend making these together with them!  The nests are just formed with your hands and kids would enjoy adding the birds and their jelly bean eggs!
