Ingredients
- 200 grams Milk chocolate
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 100 grams Crispy rice cereal (e.g., Rice Krispies)
- 90 grams Mini chocolate eggs (e.g., Cadbury Mini Eggs)
- 12 pieces Paper cupcake liners
Directions
Step 1
Line a muffin tin with 12 paper cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, add the milk chocolate, unsalted butter, and golden syrup. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler) and stir gently until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to let the bowl touch the water.
Step 3
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the crispy rice cereal to the melted chocolate mixture and gently fold until all the cereal is fully coated.
Step 5
Spoon the mixture into the prepared cupcake liners, dividing evenly between the 12 cups.
Step 6
Using the back of a spoon, press down gently in the center of each nest to create a slight indent for the eggs.
Step 7
Place 2-3 mini chocolate eggs into the center of each nest.
Step 8
Allow the nests to set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place them in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
Step 9
Once set, remove the nests from the muffin tin and serve!
