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
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a 12-hole muffin tin by lining each hole with a paper cupcake case.
Step 2
Chop the milk chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 3
Add the unsalted butter and golden syrup to the bowl with the chocolate.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Fold the crispy rice cereal into the melted chocolate mixture, stirring gently to ensure all the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 7
Spoon the mixture into the prepared cupcake cases, dividing it equally among the 12 cases.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Place 3-4 mini chocolate eggs or candies into each nest, pressing them gently into the center.
Step 10
Transfer the muffin tin to the refrigerator and chill the nests for about 1 hour, or until set.
Step 11
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.
