Easter Egg Nests Recipe
Told not to bring anything to Easter lunch or dinner, butttttt… you still want to impress? Say no more. These Easter Egg Nests make a really impressive (but super low fuss) sweet option and make even cuter little Easter gifts for friends and family.
Using only 4 ingredients, they are really simple to make and an egg-cellent way to get kids involved.
You can use any cooking chocolate you like; dark, milk or white (or even play around with 2 different types). You could even experiment with cornflakes or breaking up some pretzels to replace the puffed rice.
Easter Egg Nests Recipe
You will need:
- 1 small packet of mini Easter eggs
- 1 cup puffed rice
- 1 block of cooking chocolate (white, dark or milk)
- a pinch of salt
How to make:
- Melt the chocolate on the stove top: bring a small saucepan with 1/2 cup of water to the boil, and once boiling, place a heat proof bowl over the top. Add in the chocolate and a pinch of salt, turn the heat down to a simmer, and melt the chocolate. Stir occasionally.
- In the meantime, add the puffed rice into a separate mixing bowl. Pour over the melted chocolate. Mix to combine.
- Using a spoon as a measure, spoon out your nests onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Push down gently in the centre of each nest.
- Once all the mixture has been used up, place your nests into the fridge to set for at least 3-4 hours.
- Place your mini eggs into and around the nest.
Enjoy!
