Leila's Notes:

This recipe before I revised it was from Allsrecipe and wanted to show what these little cuties looked like.

Directions

Take the one cup of coconut and color it green using a fork to stir as hard to get off of hands. Set aside to dry a little. Best if made day before.

Melt the butter, peanut butter and marshmellos in the microwave for a few minutes at a time and stir until all melted and mixed together good.

Add chinese noodles and stir with a wooden spoon until all combined.
Using butter on your hands form the mix into a shape of one or several small nest's.
Set aside to set up a little
Add green coconut to the nests.
Add the jelly beans and the cute little rabbits and or chickens.
Enjoy

Thank you so much Karla and Bernice. I needed to have a recipe to use up all the noodles I had and found this one and so glad they turned out so good. Hope you both enjoy making them as much as I did.
