EASTER NESTS / HAYSTACKS
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:
- Choose the right chocolate. For best results, use a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. This will give your nests a rich, decadent flavor.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate. If you overheat the chocolate, it will become thick and grainy. Instead, heat it slowly and carefully, stirring constantly.
- Use a variety of toppings. To make your nests extra special, use a variety of toppings such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, candy, or sprinkles.
- Let the nests cool completely. Before you serve the nests, let them cool completely. This will help them to hold their shape.
