Ingredients
- 200 grams Milk chocolate
- 100 grams Shredded wheat cereal
- 100 grams Mini chocolate eggs or candy eggs
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a 12-hole muffin tin by lining it with cupcake or muffin cases.
Step 2
Crush the shredded wheat cereal into a large mixing bowl, breaking it down into small pieces.
Step 3
In a heatproof bowl, combine the milk chocolate, unsalted butter, and golden syrup.
Step 4
Melt the chocolate mixture in a microwave or over a double boiler. If using a microwave, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 5
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the crushed shredded wheat and mix well until all the cereal is evenly coated with chocolate.
Step 6
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cases, pressing it down gently with the back of a spoon to create a 'nest' shape.
Step 7
While the chocolate is still soft, place 2–3 mini chocolate eggs or candy eggs in the center of each nest.
Step 8
Chill the Easter Nests in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until set.
Step 9
Once set, remove the nests from the muffin tins and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in a cool place.
