Easter Egg Nests

This is a fantastic recipe to create with younger children as it’s ridiculously easy and lots of fun to make. The only difficulty will be stopping the mini eggs being eaten before decorating and the hour-long wait before the nets are set.

Prep: 10 minutes  prep time  | 1 hour refrigeration time | Makes 9 nests

Equipment:

  • Muffin/cupcake cases
  • Muffin tin
  • Heat-proof bowl (glass or metal)
  • Small saucepan
  • Large mixing bowl

Ingredients:

  • 250gms plain chocolate (72% cocoa preferred)
  • 2 tbsp golden syrup
  • 50gms butter
  • 85gms cornflakes

Decoration:

  • 27 mini Easter Eggs with candy shell crust
  • sprinkles (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Break the chocolate into small pieces and add to your heat-proof bowl along with the butter and golden syrup
  2. Melt on a stovetop over a boiling pot of water, or melt directly on the AGA warming plate
  3. Once it’s all melted and combined, remove from the heat and add the cornflakes to the chocolatey mixture
  4. Put 9 muffin/cupcake cases into the muffin baking tin
  5. Pile the crunchy chocolate into the muffin/cupcake cases, creating a hollow in the middle for decoration
  6. Place 3 mini eggs on top and scatter with sprinkles if you like to make them extra fancy
  7. Transfer the muffin tray to the fridge for an hour to set before eating (this may be the longest hour of your little people’s lives)
