Chocolate Bird's Nests

Chocolate Bird's Nests

1 can shoestring potatoes

14 oz. chocolate

(I used Wilton's Candy Melts - 7 oz mint and 7 oz. dark chocolate)

~

Melt chocolate in the microwave.

Combine with shoestring potatoes.

Press into muffin cups and refrigerate overnight.

They can be made ahead - just keep them in the fridge until you serve them.

To serve: Fill with mint ice cream and decorate with Chocolate Snowflakes

Win A Nest Box

Guess what! Go to Life on a Southern Farm and enter this great contest to win a nest box

It's an interesting blog too. And the nest boxes look really sturdy and more importantly cute!

We're All Friends

Catty is mildly interested in Lavender.

Mostly she's wondering, "Why is there a chicken in my living room? And when is it leaving?"

Catty overlooks Lavender's nest.

"Are you done yet?"


This is a pic of Lavender sleeping.
See-her head is tucked under her wing.
Awwww, so cute!
And she is such a good broody.
Nothing bothers her!
I even vacuumed next to her and she didn't turn a feather.
Not impressed.

Go! Away!

Seriously, what are you looking at?!

Boo!
