With Easter just around the corner, you may be tempted to stock up on store-bought Easter eggs, hens, and bunnies. Why not spend a morning with your kids in the kitchen and make these easy (and cost-effective) chocolate Easter egg nests instead? We show you how in three easy steps.
*Makes around 8 chocolate nests
Ingredients
- 5 Weet-Bix
- 75g milk chocolate
- 75g plain chocolate
- 50g butter
- 3 tbsp golden syrup
- mini candy-coated eggs
Method
- Crush the Weet-Bix into a bowl with your fingers. Break the chocolate into pieces and put it into a saucepan together with the butter and golden syrup and melt over gentle heat.
- Line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper. Stir the Weet-Bix into the chocolate mixture and spoon eight mounds onto the baking sheets, shaping into rounds with dips in the centre.
- Chill in the fridge for several hours until set, then peel off the nests carefully and fill with mini eggs.
