BIRD'S NESTS

Ingredients :
1 (10 ounce) Reeses peanut butter chips
1 tablespoon solid shortening
1 (5 ounce) can thin chow mien noodles
1 bag pastel colored M&M peanut candy

Bird's Nest

Preparation :
Melt entire bag of chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening slowly in microwave or in double boiler on stove top. If using microwave, heat full power in intervals of 30 seconds at a time and then less as chips begin to melt. You want the chips and shortening to be well blended and creamy and hot. DO NOT OVERCOOK!!! Immediately pour the can of chow mien noodles into the peanut butter mixture and toss lightly to coat noodles. Avoid crunching noodles. Using a spatula can help. Do this quickly, making sure the noodles are evenly coated. Drop by spoonfuls onto WAX PAPER and gently form into the shape of a nest, leaving a hollowed area in the center in which you immediately place three M&M peanut candies for the "birds eggs". Each batch makes approximately 14 nests.

Cut the carrots lengthwise into four quartered sections. If they're very long, cut across so that you get eight pieces from each carrot. Put the carrots into lightly salted boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes, until they're starting to become tender but are still crisp. Drain the carrots. Mix the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, and paprika together in the saucepan, which has been washed and dried. Add the carrot segments and the salt and turn over a very low heat for about 5 minutes, until the flavors are all impregnated into the carrots. Remove, pile into a dish, and sprinkle with the parsley. Leave to cool before serving.
