EASTER NESTS

Get baking this Easter weekend, the chocolate nests that we love can be made using either cornflakes, shredded wheat or rice krispies so if you haven’t got time to pop to the supermarket then just use what is left in the cupboard! The children love getting involved so make sure you have an apron at the ready! 

Ingredients

100g of shredded wheat

200g of milk chocolate

50g of unsalted butter

2 tablespoon of golden syrup

A pack of mini eggs

Method

With your muffin tray, lay the large sheet of cling film over the tray and ease the film into each muffin case. Break and crumble the shredded wheat into smaller chunks and place in a bowl.

Break down the chocolate pieces into a bowl, place this over a saucepan of how water. Do not use boiling water and be careful that the bowl is not touching the hot water. Stir until melted and smooth then add the butter and syrup.

Heat gently to allow all the ingredients to mix together. When fully mixed, remove the bowl from the hot water and add in the shredded wheat. Stir thoroughly to ensure that all of the wheat is now covered in chocolate.

Spoon the mixture generously into the cling filmed holes, using the back of a tea spoon push the middle of each nest down to make a nest. Allow to cool, remove the nests from the muffin holes. Place mini eggs at the top of each nests and enjoy!
