Easter Nests With Mini Eggs

Perhaps the easiest treat to make this Easter weekend. You’ll be done and cleaned up in less than 10 mins. This recipe has been in the family for years and I remember it most from visiting my aunt’s farm at the Easter holidays and hoping there would be some of these treats on the table at teatime. If you wanted to make these a little healthier, you can swap out the cereal for a higher fibre option like bran flakes or All Bran.
