A boring dessert is for the birds. For your next Spring party, create a mini butterscotch birds nest, laden with delicate cake eggs that are chocolate covered in just the right shade of Robin’s Egg Blue. Since most of the components are pre-packaged, whipping them up is a cinch. Which leaves plenty of time for the most fun part, the assembly. Get the kids involved for an extra creative kitchen adventure. Eggs colors can vary and if you really get crafty, speckle them. Dip a small, kitchen safe paintbrush into food dye and dab the paint directly onto the chocolate. Sugared mint leaves are the icing on the cake, literally!

2 cups Chow Mein noodles
2 cups butterscotch morsels, 11 oz
1 box white cake mix
Vanilla frosting, 16 oz
Vanilla almond bark, 24 oz package

1. Prepare the cake according to package instructions. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
2. In a large bowl, crumble the cake and combine with vanilla frosting. Stir well to evenly distribute the frosting throughout the crumbled cake. Form the cake mixture into an egg shape and place on a cookie sheet that has been lined with wax paper. If desired, vary the egg sizes. Place in the freezer and allow to harden for up to the 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, create the nests by first melting the butterscotch in a double boiler. Remove from the heat when melted and add the chow mein noodles. Gently stir to combine. Be careful not to break apart the noodles. Place a sheet of wax paper over a muffin tin. Form a nest by spooning onto the muffin tin and pressing the nest down into the whole below to create a concave effect. Repeat this process for remaining nests and set aside to harden.
4. Melt the almond bark in a double boiler according to package instructions. Remove from heat when melted and add 3 drops blue food coloring to 1 drop green. Adjust the color following the 3:1 ratio to achieve the desired color.
5. Remove cake eggs from the freezer and dip into the melted almond bark. Allow excess to drip off, and place a sheet of wax paper to dry. Repeat this process for the remaining eggs.
6. When both the eggs and the nests are dry, assemble together by placing groupings of 1-3 eggs into each individual nest. Garnish with a mint leaf.
