Easter Nests / Haystacks image

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:

Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the butterscotch from burning.
Stir constantly: This will help to prevent the butterscotch from curdling.
Use a candy thermometer: This will help you to ensure that the butterscotch reaches the correct temperature.
Be careful not to overcook the butterscotch: Overcooked butterscotch will be thick and chewy, instead of smooth and creamy.
Let the butterscotch cool completely before using it: This will help it to set properly.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch Easter nests are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for the spring holiday. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these nests that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a sweet and festive treat, give these butterscotch Easter nests a try.
