Top Tips – How to make Chocolate Easter Nests

Too cold for outdoor play? Why not stay at home and make these yummy chocolate Easter nests instead?

Here’s our favourite tried and tested (tasted!) recipe.

Ingredients:

200g milk chocolate, broken into small pieces
85g shredded wheat, crushed
2 x bags of mini chocolate eggs
You’ll also need 12 cupcake cases.

How to make:

Melt the chocolate in a bowl in a pan of slightly simmering hot water.

Pour the melted chocolate over the broken-up pieces of shredded wheat.

Spoon the chocolate wheat into the cupcake cases. Make a slight indent with a spoon to make a nest shape.

Place approx. three chocolate eggs in each chocolate nest.

Cool for an hour or so in the refrigerator.

Top Tip: Cornflakes work just as well as shredded wheat. You can also add a few tablespoons of golden syrup to the melted chocolate to make gooier.
