Easter Chocolate Nests (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
6-8 Shredded Wheat biscuits, left whole
02 -
100g unsalted butter
03 -
200g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
04 -
200g milk chocolate, broken into chunks
05 -
100g golden syrup
→ Topping
06 -
100-200g small Easter candies
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab your Shredded Wheat and crush it into tiny bits in a big bowl, then set it to one side.
02 -
Gently heat the butter and golden syrup together in a small pan on low, giving it an occasional stir. Once the butter's melted, take the pan off the heat and stir in the milk and dark chocolate until smooth.
03 -
Pour the warm chocolate mixture over your crushed cereal and stir everything until coated and sticky.
04 -
Using two spoons or a cookie/ice cream scoop, scoop mounds of the mixture onto a tray lined with baking paper. Make a small dip in the middle of each one and pop three Easter candies on the top.
05 -
Place the tray in a fridge and let the nests firm up until they're solid.
# Notes:
01 -
Dark chocolate (350g) or just milk chocolate (500g) can be used instead of mixing them.
02 -
You can swap out Shredded Wheat for 80-100g of another cereal you like.
03 -
They'll stay fresh for at least a week if stored properly.
04 -
White chocolate won't work well with the butter and syrup.
