Easter Nests Recipe

Ingredients:

• 225g Plain Chocolate
• 2 tbsp Golden Syrup
• 50g Butter
• 75g Cornflakes
• Mini Eggs
  

Method:

1. Line a 12-hole cupcake tin with paper cases.

2. Melt the chocolate, golden syrup and butter in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, (do not let the base of the bowl touch the water). Stir the mixture until smooth.

3. Remove the bowl from the heat and gently stir in the cornflakes until all of the cereal is coated in the chocolate. 

4. Divide the mixture between the paper cases and press 3 chocolate eggs into the centre of each nest. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour, or until completely set.

These are perfect for giving to family and friends as a little extra treat around Easter time because they are so quick and easy to make.
