Easter Nests (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
200g dark chocolate, broken into chunks
02 -
200g milk chocolate, chopped up
03 -
100g golden syrup
04 -
100g butter without salt
05 -
6-8 pieces of full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits
→ Topping
06 -
100-200g mini Easter candy
# Instructions:
01 -
Crumble the Shredded Wheat into tiny pieces, place them in a large bowl, then leave it for later.
02 -
In a saucepan, slowly warm up the butter and syrup. Once the butter has melted, turn off the heat and stir in both the milk and dark chocolate until it’s smooth.
03 -
Mix the chocolate and syrup mixture into the bowl of crumbled Shredded Wheat. Stir well so it’s all coated.
04 -
Spoon out the mixture using an ice cream scoop or two spoons, shaping small nests. Place them on a baking sheet covered in parchment, adding 3 mini Easter eggs to the middle of each one.
05 -
Put the tray in the fridge and leave it there until the nests have firmed up completely.
# Notes:
01 -
Only dark chocolate or just milk chocolate can be used: 350g for dark or 500g for milk.
02 -
Another cereal (about 80-100g) can easily replace Shredded Wheat.
03 -
These treats are good and fresh for more than a week.
04 -
White chocolate doesn’t mix well with the butter and syrup in this method.
