Easter Chocolate Nests

Easter Chocolate Nests are really easy to make and even more fun when you let the kids join in. Its also a great way to use up some of the chocolate Easter eggs you have around. My kids always end up with lots of Easter eggs from all there grandparents, aunties ,uncles and other family members.

So here are a few simple steps I used to make these delightful treats.

What I used

Two Easter chocolate Eggs
One Packet of mini Eggs
5 large Chunks of Shredded Wheat
12 Bun Cases in a Bun Tray

I took two fairly large chocolate eggs (Cadburys)and broke them into smaller pieces and put them in a bowl, I then heated the bowl in the microwave to melt the chocolate. You can alternatively boil water in a pot and set the bowl in the pot but I chose to use the microwave for convenience. When I used the microwave I kept it on a medium heat and stirred it every 20-30 seconds so that it doesn’t burn to the bowl.

Next I just broke up shredded wheat in placed it in the bowl with the melted chocolate and stirred it well until it was evenly covered in chocolate.

Finally I took my bun tray which I had placed the bun cases in and started putting a spoon full of the chocolate shredded wheat in each case and placed two mini eggs in it while of course nibbling on a few eggs myself. After this I put the tray in the fridge for 30 minutes and then there ready to enjoy.
