Notes
- Place fully set Easter haystack nests into airtight container and store room temperature for up to a week.
- FRIDGE: You can also store these sweet treats in the fridge. They'll last for a little bit longer when stored in the fridge rather than at room temperature.
- FREEZER: While I haven't tested freezing easter egg haystacks, I would think they should store well. The candy may not hold up as well, but you can still try it out. Freeze in a freezer safe container with parchment paper in between the layers and freeze for up to a month.
