Steps:
- Put the cereal in a large bowl. Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and whisk until smooth. Continue cooking, whisking occasionally, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, 5 to 6 minutes (it should register 230 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla, nutmeg and salt.
- Immediately pour the caramel over the cereal and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the cereal mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet. Let cool slightly, then use your fingers to gently form each into a mound or pyramid shape; sprinkle with nonpareils. Let cool completely.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Stale or old ingredients will not produce the best-tasting haystacks.
- Do not overcook the cornflakes. They should be crispy, not soggy.
- Be careful when melting the chocolate. If it gets too hot, it will seize up and become unusable.
- Use a variety of toppings. This will make your haystacks more visually appealing and delicious.
- Store the haystacks in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Cornflake haystacks are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty snack that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give cornflake haystacks a try!
