Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams milk chocolate
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 100 grams crispy rice cereal
- 100 grams mini chocolate eggs or candies
Instructions
Prepare a 12-hole muffin tin by lining each hole with a paper cupcake case.
Chop the milk chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Add the unsalted butter and golden syrup to the bowl with the chocolate.
Melt the chocolate mixture over a pot of gently simmering water (double boiler method), stirring frequently until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt it in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 1-2 minutes.
Fold the crispy rice cereal into the melted chocolate mixture, stirring gently to ensure all the cereal is evenly coated.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared cupcake cases, dividing it equally among the 12 cases.
Use the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each nest where the mini chocolate eggs or candies will sit.
Place 3-4 mini chocolate eggs or candies into each nest, pressing them gently into the center.
Transfer the muffin tin to the refrigerator and chill the nests for about 1 hour, or until set.
Once set, remove the nests from the paper cases and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 3 days.
