Im calling these Easter Nests

These are a great drop cookie! Very easy and Very good! Some people call them Haystack cookies, but I am calling them Easter Nests! Because I can! My grandmother used to make these, they are delicious! You can use Butterscotch morsels or chocolate whichever you want! You can also add nuts, raisins, anything, use your imagination! Here's the recipe: 

What you need:
     wax paper
     11 to 12 ounces of  semi-sweet morsels or butterscotch morsels
     1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
     2 cans (5ounces each) of chow mein noodles

Directions:
1) Line baking sheets with wax paper
2)  microwave morsels in large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted. Stir in peanut butter until well blended.
3) add chow mein noodles to morsel mixture; toss until coated. Using ice
cream scoop that measures about 2 rounded tablespoons, scoop and drop onto
prepared trays then immediately shape into nests. Refrigerate until ready to
serve.

If you want to be a little creative....get some nest eggs! This time of year there is so much easter candy out there you can find tons of little eggs, especially chocolate ones, or even jelly beans would work. I used my favorite! The cadbury mini eggs! Be careful these are highly addictive!
