Butterscotch Birds’ Nests

• 12 ounces, weight Butterscotch Morsels
• 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Shortening
• 12 ounces, weight Chow Mein Noodles
• Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (optional)

1. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Place butterscotch morsels and shortening in a microwave safe bowl and on 50% power, heat for 45 seconds. Remove and stir. Return to microwave and on 50% power heat for another minute or until morsels are melted. (If you prefer, you can melt butterscotch morsels with a double boiler instead.)
3. Stir in chow mein noodles until combined.
4. Take 2-3 tablespoons of mixture and form into a ball and place on parchment paper. If you desire, using your thumb you can push down the center to fill with goodies such as M&Ms or Hershey Kisses.
5. Set aside until butterscotch hardens.
6. If desired, melt semi-sweet chocolate chip morsels and drizzle over birds' nests.
