Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Milk chocolate
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 100 grams Crispy rice cereal (e.g., Rice Krispies)
- 90 grams Mini chocolate eggs (e.g., Cadbury Mini Eggs)
- 12 pieces Paper cupcake liners
Instructions
Line a muffin tin with 12 paper cupcake liners.
In a heatproof bowl, add the milk chocolate, unsalted butter, and golden syrup. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler) and stir gently until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to let the bowl touch the water.
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Add the crispy rice cereal to the melted chocolate mixture and gently fold until all the cereal is fully coated.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared cupcake liners, dividing evenly between the 12 cups.
Using the back of a spoon, press down gently in the center of each nest to create a slight indent for the eggs.
Place 2-3 mini chocolate eggs into the center of each nest.
Allow the nests to set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place them in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
Once set, remove the nests from the muffin tin and serve!
