Get the Egg by Alyssa Satin Capucilli

We made edible bird's nests to kick off our story, Get the Egg!
Bird nest recipe:
1 bag of chocolate chips
1 bag of butterscotch chips
(Calls for peanut butter but we needed to avoid a nut allergy so I substitute it with chocolate chips)
1 bag of chow mein noodles

First, melt Chocolate chips in the crockpot then add in butterscotch chips. As soon as the butterscotch chips have melted add chow mein noodles. Stir until coated well. Drop a spoonful onto Parchment paper. Top with marshmallows for eggs. Enjoy!
