I'm always trying to make recipes just a little healthier for my family. These Haystacks are made with Fiber One Bran Cereal instead of chow mien noodles. These are super easy, so cute, and if you don't tell your friends and family they won't even know you gave them their daily dose of fiber in this yummy treat ;o)

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your Easter nests the best flavor and texture.

  • Be careful not to overcook the marshmallows. If they get too hot, they will become tough and chewy.
