Turtle Dove Nests
Inspired by the traditional carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas," our Test Kitchen staff created these cute chocolate nests. With jelly bean eggs, they would make fun treats for Easter, too. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin

I also was confused on a couple of ingredients so I used 6 oz each of chocolate and peanut butter morsels. It was the perfect amount when melted. I also used chow mein noodles because that’s what it appears to be from the picture. They were very easy to make and look just like the photo. Very nice for the holiday. Grandchildren loved them.
It was not clear whether there were 2 packages of chips of one combined. I couldn't find a combination, so used one package of each. I also couldn't find the rice noodles, so used chow mein noodles. It all turned out quite well. I took them to students in my ESL (English Second Language) class and they loved them.
I love this idea! I used to make similar candies as a child, but didn't add the "eggs." These will be on my Christmas cookie trays from now on!
