{Easter Feature} Easter Egg Nests Recipe!

With Easter coming up, we'll be sharing some delicious recipes, diy projects and activities with you over the coming weeks!

In today's post we're sharing a fab recipe for Easter Egg nests, which is a great fun and simple recipe, especially if you have little ones who like to join and get their hands dirty!

This recipe requires no baking and makes around 12 cute nests.















Ingredients

2 tbsp golden syrup
50g/2oz butter
75g/3oz cornflakes
36 mini chocolate eggs

Method
1. Line a 12-hole fairy cake tin with paper cases.
2. Melt the chocolate, golden syrup and butter in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, (do not let the base of the bowl touch the water). Stir the mixture until smooth.
3. Remove the bowl from the heat and gently stir in the cornflakes until all of the cereal is coated in the chocolate.
4.Divide the mixture between the paper cases and press 3 chocolate eggs into the centre of each nest. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour, or until completely set.
