Another great idea is peeps instead of mini eggs!

[@cherrypixel3058]

[@AliyahFett]

That's what I thought to when I saw this

[@kayleagray3495]

Both nests look realistic the smaller one looks like a robin or a finch nest where as the other looks like a sparrow nest.

[@MarkOfSurrey]

But I only have mini eggs in my country but we had mini eggs first

[@KarinaDC14]

I dont do any housework HAHA

[@dinahwares]

I grew up with chocolate nests (though they were made with shredded wheat or corn flakes as a base). I tried this recipe today but was sadly disappointed. I made 3 muffin sized nests for myself, my husband and child (small socially distance Easter here) and we all agreed that while they were very pretty to look at, and created a beautifully realistic nest, they were not pleasant to eat. The noodles were too stabby in the mouth and got stuck between teeth very easily. Yes, technically they are edible (noodles and chocolate) but these work better as a display piece (such as decoration on a cake) not a treat by itself.

[@CraftyLoops]

Great use for vermicelli. We usually make them with shredded wheat, the small shredded wheat for small nest or the large shredded wheat for larger ones. Yours look fantastic. Lee xx

[@littlelady3895]

I made Bails of hay, using the extra large marshmallows (of course you the size use depend on size you need), I crushed up (by hand) the non frosted shredded wheat, melted a butterscotch chips,w/white chips (mainly cause that's what I had on hand and the color was perfect), dipped the marshmallows in the chocolate and rolled until covered in the shredded wheat. They looked so realistic and tasted amazing lol

[@CraftyLoops]

Wow that sounds fantastic@@littlelady3895

[@redtedart]

Wow they look amazing!

[@janabarnard1]

So cute! Both nests are great, just depends on the look you're going for i guess! That cake look beautiful back there, can't wait to see that one.

[@Onekitchenblogfood]

I cannot wait to see that beautiful cake for Easter being made! nom nom :-D Love these little nests here! And yes now I will enjoy the video lol.. could not help to comment before watching it all! Just so excited for that cake to come!!

[@PiixiieThiing]

we use shredded wheat does the same thing and a little bit more tasty :)

[@HFDay-qi6yc]

oh thanks

[@Saydle]

Oooh thanks for the idea!

[@TheKonga88]

I use queen ants to help me to chew up twigs and they lay big eggs for me and I cover them in chocolate.. 🐭🐭🌙🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜👸👑🐜🐜👸🐜👸🐸🐸🌕🚀🌜🎑🌙🌙🌙🌙👷🍬🍬🍭🍭🍭🎂🍰🐹🐹🐹

[@Mrsgates2010]

Oh my gosh Jenn how fun are those! I thought they were going to be super complicated, those would be so much fun to do with the kids on or before Easter! You are so the 👑

[@HealthNutNutrition]

these are so stinking cute!

[@911_terrorist]

1st

[@sweettreatsyt]

Love it!! Can't wait to see that cake tutorial! :D

[@nayeliangelino4236]

me to

[@colezy14]

for 6 months I've been looking for a realistic easy to make chocolate nest, until now I havnt found 1 i like, but you darlin have nailed it!!

[@Lark_Vivian]

you're my new favorite channel because you don't have the glitz and glamour like so many bakers i see today..your kitchen is nice and quaint and you don't have your million dollar appliances on show. xxx

[@alexashubert8545]

I think the mini eggs are so adorable!💜

[@CrankyPantss]

Those look very nice. Another great job, Jen!

[@auntiescakery]

Great idea! I look forward to seeing your cake video.

[@911_terrorist]

Choco nest yum lol

[@Myfussyeater]

I love these, so cute! I need to try these for Easter!

[@johnnyfnhammersticks]

happy Easter!yay it's Easter today!

[@juiceejessy8666]

I like the second one best because it looks realistic but then the first one holds a lot more eggs so I would actually go with the first one

[@guziarostegui]

Lovely!!!! I adore it!

[@annbutler8302]

I like the 2nd one that was formed in the mixing bowl. I love this idea for making nests.

[@isoldamunteanu9298]

little chunky chunks of snickers 🍫🍭🍬

[@juanitajones3360]

I like the video when you made a chocolate birds nest

[@duckyone20]

I love this! I've only ever seen them using the chow mein noodles I like this one much better!

[@lorrainesaltmarsh2836]

I prefer to use shredded wheat mixed with melted chocolate and moulded into nests.

[@debhowie5162]

Very creative and easy to do--thank you!

[@hipoprocks]

I cant wait for the cake!! I love mini eggs! I work at Michaels and there is SO much easter stuff, its so inspiring!! I have been waiting for you to come out with something easter

[@AussieAngeS]

Looks very cool I like this idea. Those noodles do go everywhere lol

[@maggie3391]

the both ways of the nests look both realistic to me honestly because i couldnt choose!

[@simi123bye]

Love it!!❤️

[@mapleboii2849]

I would fill it with many eggs to. The big bowl nest looked like a real nest

[@marjorie96ful]

I love you're cakes also the raimbow cake and the Ester one but I like all of them

[@mammaanka4081]

This is so cool and cute. I think the "big bowl" nest is more like a natural nest. :)

[@doramelton894]

I like the big bowl of nest.

[@taylormcrae6227]

I love these!!! This would be so good for my birthday which is on Easter this year!!! Also, I think that the first one is better and I LOVE mini eggs!❤️

[@ray-oh5jf]

Jen!!! Your nails are SOOO pretty!!

[@niamhdinneen3578]

I made them last year and will try these!😘

[@nobodyatall5877]

U can use shredded wheat and crumble them up too, I made them before I feel that it's an easier way than looking for rice noodles x

[@loveyourself_8720]

I love it! It's so cute :)

[@jjiwant]

Adorable!!!

[@roseyoung9912]

The second one looks ways bettttteeeeeerrrrr!!!

[@65malcy]

The mini eggs looks so different to the one we have in the UK

[@becksboo9633]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@jackiethebest3975]

It looks so lovely

[@lulul5789]

I like how the one in the big glass bowl came out looks more like birds nest thanks for this great idea loving it

[@rubyzheng8362]

我4

[@traceyhazelton2630]

I think the one with the bowl. was that e better than the other one no afence

[@lulul5789]

+Tracey Hazelton why would I be offended? It's a matter of taste

[@mirandalopez4350]

Me to

[@linzeyrobinson9899]

Looks so good

[@haileyyooo5016]

The noise of the chocolate while u were cutting it was satisfying and watching u cut chocolate also

[@creads3]

Ikr

[@abby01015]

YES

[@katies8966]

!That's what I was thinking!

[@waittingformybaby]

Lmao guess I wasn't the only one thinking that

[@juiceejessy8666]

HAILEEYY DIY I like what you said

[@katies8966]

2:30 I love your spatula!

[@amyboyd8831]

love it!

[@evacharmedandbuffy]

When I was growing up, we used shredded wheat for the nests

[@helpfulnatural]

+Jess Strudwick I remember that. We also used fried Chow Mein noodles.

[@TheKonga88]

I USE HUMAN SKULLS 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀🍭🍭🍬🍬🛀🌕🌙🌙👽👽👽👽

[@helenknight375]

I like the one in the glass bowl

[@mireyaespino6447]

those chocolate noodles are like a throwback to weird junk food like when I ate crunchy ramen noodles with the seasoning lol

[@fam.debaare6516]

This is so cool! I prefer the 2nd way of making the bird's nest too! I would fill it with painted eggs! That would probably look cool too! :D

[@tinychef8256]

How is it edible and the noodles are not cooked?

[@terrielaplante]

+Amber Anderson They're made of rice. The rice is first cooked then shaped into noodles, then dried.

[@lakeishaclarke933]

am woundering the same thing too

[@tinychef8256]

+Terry Fox ok thanks.

[@terrielaplante]

Valentina Donoso that's exactly what I said lol

[@suhaylakamarudheen704]

+Amber Anderson ...same here i found it a bit weird but it looked good! the vermicelli part scared me lol

[@summerfranklin2568]

the big one looks the best

[@sulee3465]

Really cute, I like the one that you didn't put the bowl in the middle!😍

[@Suzu52]

What a great idea!

[@paulabarlowe33]

So I made a nest this way and it looks WONDERFUL and so realistic, but I have to say that yes, technically it's edible but it's really gross to eat. I went back out shopping but couldn't find the big shredded wheat biscuits so went back to the tried and true chow mein noodles. Doesn't look nearly as cool but at least it tastes good.

[@evelynyoshida6172]

I like the second one too!🍳

[@itsrawan7847]

You are SO CREATIVE YOU ROCK YOU ARE SO AWESOME:D

[@Smrojas]

Super creative !

[@chloeanna1084]

I think the one you made last is the best 😀

[@margaretlisboa563]

I liked the 2nd one 😋

[@tuandoole9651]

Nest looks great thanks

[@laurenwaters6999]

I think peeps and eggs would be great

[@fiorefer379]

What a good idea!

[@kaidanariko]

"Tell me what you would fill this egg with" *points at nest she just made and said a thousand times*

[@jessgee8373]

This is so cool!

[@nylahwinchester250]

the 2nd one looks like a nest🐣🐤🐥💐

[@shelbyk2193]

I'm gonna try this but using Mini Wheat cereal instead of the noodles.

[@MrBobaFett]

Yep that's a much better way to go

[@rumanashabandri1163]

cute nest !!!

[@meagangunter4259]

So cute🎀🐥💕

[@alisham5745]

thank you for doing this

[@tiptoetito1631]

I think the second one is the one I like best

[@puppynumberonemynameisciar1998]

I like the one you did by hand

[@rachealhartley4478]

I think they turn out great

[@MintyStarsAJ]

Another way is that you get a pile of icing sugar and you drizzle some chocolate on top. The whole thing could be edible.

[@paintingcrewpaintingideas7596]

it looks so good

[@cathleenkern442]

Such an awesome idea I love the more natural one ...hello from Perth Australia lol...oh would you consider doing 50 random facts would love to know about how you got your start in baking...what made you go on you tube and more....keep up the creative wonderful ideas you have loads of fans in Australia xxx

[@lulug2659]

I like the second idea a bit better

[@vitthalpatel2071]

I like the big bowl

[@ShalaLicia]

I actually like the neater one more! Great video though :) These look awesome!

[@emileesmith3715]

Love it .. So cute

[@maleahmarie4172]

the bowl with the other bowl pressing down into it i would recommend for a party because the end of the video when you added the mini eggs that one seemed to hold a lot more which would be nice for party favors at an Eatser party. but if its just for you and the fam i would say the other one.

[@jennal8432]

what might make the nests look more realistic is to add some can leaves or grass, things like that

[@katiesioux4034]

I can hardly wait to see the video on that awesome cake to your right! It is so pretty! A great Spring/Easter cake. When will it be ready for KZbin? I love watching your videos - you are so creative. Thank you for sharing your great ideas with us.

[@nettie121]

I prefer the big bowl method, it is easier, cleaner, more realastic and more pretty.

[@fatose1838]

that looks soo cool👌

[@zoezoe3220]

I Love Mini eggs

[@kaleyrockett1006]

the one in the large bowl looks the best because it seemed more realistic

[@kairajaniemi3931]

You could fill it with peeps and mini eggs! :D

[@stardazzle]

Cute and yum yum😍😍😍

[@luvevey1]

I like the one you made.

[@lurliefreeman4114]

I like how everything is so easy to make and can you show us how to make ALL cakes even cupcakes.

[@fathatganiyu7198]

Oh wow that's sooo cool " worlds biggest calburys bag " so cool

[@shakirahmed473]

JEN ONCE AGAIN YOU DONE A GREAT CAKE/CUPCAKE/OWN CREATION YOU ARE THE BAKING CHAMPION/QUEEN★★★★★★★

[@toothbrushandtwinkie2147]

I agree with you about the second nest looking better. Without the bowl. It looks more like a birds nest to me.

[@an6e4]

Omg!!!!! This is AWESOME!!!! I'm going to the kitchen to make these.The good thing is that i have all the ingredients.:) Oh, yeah i think that the first one was better.

[@addiward664]

i like the one that looks more natural

[@newzbug11]

You might try some dried beans in the bowl on the first nest.

[@paigeishot8942]

My favourite is the nest that was made in the bowl and smaller bowl

[@ashtonSH]

That's so cute
