How to Make Easter Nests Haystacks

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup butterscotch chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips) and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
  3. Remove from microwave and stir until completely smooth and combined.
  4. Add 3 cups Fiber One bran cereal to the melted chocolate/butterscotch and stir gently until all cereal is evenly coated.
  5. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small nests.
  6. Immediately top each nest with 2-3 mini chocolate eggs (robin eggs).
  7. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  8. Makes approximately 24 haystacks.
