Ingredients for Chocolate Easter Nests

100g Milk Chocolate for cooking
2 shredded wheats
small chocolate eggs

How to make the Chocolate Easter Nests

Put the shredded wheat into a ziplock bag and crush it – putting in a ziplock bag will stop it going everywhere.

Place your chocolate broken up into a microwavable bowl and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds, take out stir and then put back in for an extra 30 seconds – repeat until all your chocolate has melted (will vary depending on the microwave). If you don’t have a microwave you can put the chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a small pan and stir the chocolate over the heat until it melts.

Pour the crushed shredded wheat in with the chocolate and mix together.

Put a small nest of the chocolate shredded wheats into a cupcake cake and then add a few chocolate eggs on the top and allow to cool.

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g Milk Chocolate for cooking
  • shredded wheats
  • 1 Bag Cadbury Mini Eggs

Instructions
 

  • Put the shredded wheat into a ziplock bag and crush it.
  • Break up the chocolate. I find it tastes better to use something like Dairy Milk rather than cooking chocolate or unsweetened in this recipe.
  • Place your chocolate broken up into a microwavable bowl and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds, take out stir and then put back in for an extra 30 seconds - repeat until all your chocolate has melted (will vary depending on the microwave). 
  • Pour the crushed shredded wheat in with the chocolate and mix together.
  • Put a small nest of the chocolate shredded wheat into a cupcake cake.
  • Then add a few Cadbury Mini Eggs to the nest and leave to cool.

Notes

If you don't have a microwave you can put the chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a small pan and stir the chocolate over the heat until it melts.

    Can I used bit sized shredded wheat instead?

    1. Yes, as long as they aren’t filled with anything they work, just break them up.

  2. Those are so cute and look really fast and easy to put together! I’m adding them to my to-do-for-Easter list. Thanks for sharing!

  3. They look so cute and very easy to make! I haven’t even contemplated Easter cooking this year….but you have inspired me!
