Ingredients
Method
Melt the Chocolate
- Break the chocolate into small chunks. Place it in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) and stir until smooth. You can also melt it in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between each.
Mix in the Cereal
- Add the cereal into the melted chocolate. Stir gently with a spoon until all the cereal is coated in chocolate.
Shape the Nests
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the tray and use the back of a spoon to create a small dip in the center, like a bird’s nest.
Chill
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the nests are firm.
Decorate and Serve
- Once firm, add mini eggs, fruit, or nuts in the center of each nest. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can swap cereals (cornflakes, Count Chocula cereal, or crunch cereal work great).
- For softer texture, stir 1 tbsp of butter into the melted chocolate.
- Always line your tray with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
