I just added my own little twist to try and make it just a teensy bit healthier by using bran cereal instead of fried chow mein noodles! These aren't quite as sweet as my Chocolate peanut butter nests and they look a little more realistic which I like!

Healthier Easter Nest Cookies
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups All-Bran cereal
- 2 Tb Butter or dairy free option
- 1/2 bag Marshmallows mini are best
- 30 Cadbury Mini Eggs
- 1/4 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp Coconut oil or Avocado oil
Instructions
- Melt marshmallows and butter on low heat, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
- Measure cereal out into a large bowl and pour melted marshmallows over the top.
- With a large spoon stir cereal until well mixed and evenly coated with marshmallow.
- Make a disk shape with sticky cereal approximately 5" across and use your thumbs to push up the sides to create a nest shape.
- You'll want to work quickly so the cereal is still pliable by the last next.
- Once all 10 nests are created, melt chocolate chips in microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between.
- When melted add 1/2 tsp melted coconut oil and stir well.
- Using your spoon, drizzle chocolate across the tops of all the nests and let cool to harden.
- Store in an airtight container but they are best if eaten the same day.
- For serving, add 3 Cadbury mini eggs to the center of each nest.
- Enjoy!
