These are a great little Easter treat that the whole family can join in on making. So fun and easy and YUMMY! Thanks to Jess from Cook n Create for this great Easter idea.
Ingredients
- 200g chocolate broken into pieces (TIP: You can always mix chocolates to make up the 200g)
- 85g Shredded wheat (You can also use Cornflakes, Rice crispies, Weetbix etc – Whatever cereals you have just make sure they are crushed)
- 2 x 100g bags of mini eggs
Method
- Melt the chocolate in a small glass bowl placed over a saucepan of barely simmering water (Do it slowly – Believe it or not chocolate burns really easily!)
- In another bowl crush the cereal
- Pour the chocolate over the crushed cereal and mix thoroughly (A metal spoon is easiest)
- Spoon the mixture into the 12 cupcake cases (Use a cupcake tin if you can to keep the shape)
- Use the back of a metal teaspoon to firmly press the mixture into the cases. Make a little dip in each nest for the eggs to sit.
- Place ¾ mini eggs in each nest and chill in the fridge for an hour or so. ENJOY!

Method Preheat the oven to 160c and grease or line (We prefer to line it with baking paper) a 20cm x 30cm baking tinMelt the butter, sugar and chocolate together in a glass bowl over simmering water. Keep stirring. When it’s all melted and the sugar no longer feels ‘grainy’ remove from the heat (you can check this by pressing the back of a metal spoon against the side of the bowl and feeling the grain). Be careful when you take the bowl off the pan and tilt it away from you to avoid a steam burn.Break the eggs one by one into the bowl. You…
