Easy Easter nests



I discovered these last year and I can't remember where so I can't give credit to any one.

Well I decided to make these with my 3 year old as it's the Easter holidays and he's driving me crazy. They are fun and simple for kids to get involved in. This makes about 24

INGREDIENTS

300g milk chocolate
8 full size Shredded Wheat
a little icing (any is fine, butter cream is best. Or more melted chocolate)
Mini eggs

METHOD

Line a fairy cake tin with cake cases

Melt the chocolate (I prefer to do this in a bain marie as I always burn it in the microwave)

When the chocolate is melted crunch up the Shredded Wheat and mix it in with the chocolate

Spoon the mix into the cake cases and press a hollow into the middle

Cool in the fridge (takes about half an hour)

Put a little icng/chocolate into the middle on each nest and add 3 mini eggs



Done :-) Easy and perfect for Easter!
