 Hey guys, welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with food inventory adventures in food And I am here today with two quick and easy Christmas Confections that I want to share with you guys. The first one is a favorite from my childhood It's something that my mom used to make and they are called birds nest So you are going to need some chow mein noodles and this is what they look like and I'll make sure to leave the Recipes in the description box so that you'll have the exact measurements But they look like this. I use the la choy brand. You can find them in the Asian food section They're either in a bag like this or sometimes they're like in a little tub if you will But you're going to need some chow mein noodles You're going to need some butterscotch chips and then you are going to need some peanuts as well And the great thing about both of these recipes is that it does not require you to turn on a stove or oven Everything can be made in the microwave So I am going to start off by melting these butterscotch chips in the microwave And then I will be back to show you the rest So I melted my butterscotch in the microwave for about two minutes total in 30 minute increment I'm sorry 30 second increments. And so it's nice and smooth here So you've got to work really quickly. So I'm going to drop in my peanuts And drop in my chow mein noodles And I've got some wax paper already spread out on the cabinet right in front of me And you've got to move really quickly To get everything all incorporated okay, so Got everything all mixed in and Like I said, I've got my wax paper right here And you're just going to move quickly and just drop the bird's nest in little mounds Just like that actually that's a little bit too big. I'm smaller like around that size Okay, so I am going to let these cool I'm going to grab some more wax paper Because I have a lot more left and then we are going to get started on the peanut clusters So next we are going to make the chocolate butterscotch peanut clusters again Just a few simple ingredients you're going to need some chocolate chips butterscotch chips and peanuts I am going to start off by melting the butterscotch chips and the chocolate chips in the microwave And then I will be right back So I have my chocolate melted it took about two and a half minutes 30 second increments And so this again you have to work fast. So I've got my chocolate in here. I'm going to drop in my peanuts Got some wax paper spread down already And you're going to move quickly to get your peanuts all coated There it is And then you are just going to drop Spoonfuls full on some wax paper So just like this All right guys, so I am going to let these set up and I'm going to let the bird's nest finish setting up And then I will come back and show you the finished product So here is the candy it took about one hour for the bird's nest to set and then It took about two hours for the peanut clusters to set now Howard has never had either one of these and he tried them He said the bird's nest kind of reminded him of pretzels But he did like them and then the peanut clusters if you are a fan of goober's or chocolate covered peanuts Then you'll really like them. They taste more chocolatey than they do Like butterscotch, but as you can see they're really quick and simple easy to put together I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did Please make sure to give us a thumbs up if you have not subscribed to our channel I certainly hope you'll do so.
