Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Milk chocolate
- 100 grams Crispy rice cereal
- 36 pieces Mini candy eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
Instructions
Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper cupcake liners and set aside.
Break the milk chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Add the butter and golden syrup to the bowl with the chocolate.
Melt the mixture gently over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between) until smooth and fully combined.
Remove the bowl from the heat and fold in the crispy rice cereal until fully coated in the chocolate mixture.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, pressing down slightly to create a nest shape in the center of each one.
Place 2-3 mini candy eggs in the center of each nest.
Let the nests set completely at room temperature for 1-2 hours or refrigerate for about 30 minutes until firm.
Once set, remove the nests from the muffin tin and peel off the paper liners before serving.
