A pretty spring treat!
Now to make the baskets: bend a paper straw and press into the sides of each haystack as the basket handle.

We enjoyed these for Easter but have also made them as a springtime dessert without the basket handle and as birds nests.
Fun to make and eat- my favorite kind of treat!
As always, my kitchen helpers keep me laughing the whole time! Love them!
