Introduction
Easter is a celebration that everyone looks forward to, from the colorful decorations to the delicious food. One of the most popular Easter treats is Easter nests. These cute little nests are made with chocolate and shredded wheat, and are filled with chocolate eggs. They are not only fun to make, but they also make a great addition to any Easter party or gathering.
Ingredients
To make Easter nests, you will need the following ingredients:
200g milk chocolate
85g shredded wheat
Mini chocolate eggs
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the chocolate
Begin by melting 200g of milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water, and stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted.
Step 2: Crush the shredded wheat
While the chocolate is melting, crush 85g of shredded wheat into small pieces using your hands. Don't worry if there are still some larger pieces left - this will add texture to your nests.
Step 3: Mix the chocolate and shredded wheat
Once the chocolate has melted, add the shredded wheat to the bowl and mix well until all of the shredded wheat is coated in chocolate.
Step 4: Make the nests
Take a spoonful of the mixture and place it onto a lined baking tray. Use the back of the spoon to create a well in the middle of the mixture, which will form the nest. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used.
Step 5: Add the eggs
Place mini chocolate eggs into the well of each nest, pressing them gently into the chocolate mixture.
Step 6: Chill the nests
Place the baking tray into the fridge and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the nests have set.
Step 7: Serve and enjoy!
Once the nests have set, they are ready to be enjoyed. Simply remove them from the fridge and serve. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
