2 1/2 cups chow mein noodles
 2 cups coarsely crushed cornflakes cereal
 3 cups (18 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
 54 jelly beans in various colors
 Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper.  In a large bowl, with
 your hands, toss together the noodles and cereal In a medium-size
 saucepan set over low heat, melt the chocolate, stirring constantly
 until smooth.  Pour over the noodle mixture and toss gently with
 a mixing spoon until evenly coated.  For each nest, mound 2
 tablespoonfuls of the cereal mixture on the prepared baking sheet.
 With your fingers, make an indentation in each mound, shaping the
 mixture into nests.  Press three jelly beans in each indentation.
 Set aside until firm, about 2 hours.
