2. Melt Marshmallows and Butter: In a large saucepan set over medium heat, combine the miniature marshmallows and butter. Stir continuously until the marshmallows and butter are completely melted and well combined.

3. Add Crunchy Noodles: Once the marshmallows and butter are melted, add the crunchy Chinese noodles to the saucepan. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure that the noodles are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

4. Shape the Nests: Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. With buttered hands to prevent sticking, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the marshmallow-noodle mixture into each muffin cup. Using your fingers, shape the mixture into nests, creating an indentation in the center to hold the jelly beans.

5. Chill: Place the muffin pan in the refrigerator and allow the nests to chill until set, approximately 10-15 minutes. Chilling helps the nests hold their shape and makes them easier to handle.

6. Fill with Jelly Beans: Once the nests are set, remove the muffin pan from the refrigerator. Carefully remove each nest from the pan and place them on a serving platter or individual plates. Fill each nest’s center with colorful jelly beans, arranging them as desired to create a vibrant and festive display.

7. Serve and Enjoy: These adorable Jelly Beans Nests are now ready to be served! Place them on your Easter table or serve them as a delightful treat for any springtime occasion. Kids and adults alike will love the combination of crunchy noodles, gooey marshmallows, and sweet jelly beans.

Notes

• Feel free to customize these nests by adding other toppings or mix-ins such as chocolate eggs, sprinkles, or shredded coconut.
• If you prefer a different texture, you can substitute the crunchy Chinese noodles with pretzel sticks or chow mein noodles.
• Store any leftover nests in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Make sure they are well-sealed to maintain their freshness and crunchiness.
