It's a tradition in my family for my Mum to make chocolate nests every year and hide them in the garden for us to find. I decided to make some of my own this year. Now that my siblings and I are adults I decided to make "grown-up" Easter nests with dark chocolate instead of the usual milk. Here's the recipe I used:
Chocolate Easter nests (makes 24 muffin size nests)200g 85% cocoa dark chocolate (I used
Green & Blacks)
125g cornflakes
250g
mini eggs- Line muffin tray with paper cases
- Break up chocolate into small pieces and place in microwave bowl.
- Melt chocolate in microwave on full power for about 1-2 minutes (the exact amount of time needed will depend on the type of chocolate being used so remove and stir the chocolate every so often to ensure it heats evenly).
- Once the chocolate is melted, remove from microwave and gradually stir in cornflakes so they are completely covered in chocolate.
- Spoon mixture into paper cases and make a hole in the center.
- Fill hole with mini eggs and leave to set.
Eat and enjoy. Yummy!
