50g butter
225g/ 8oz milk or dark chocolate (whatever is your family favourite)
3 tbsp golden syrup
1 tbsp milk
125g cornflakes
54 mini eggs
18 cupcake cases (I used medium sized ones)
In a large pan melt the butter and chocolate with the syrup. Add the milk and stir well until smooth and glossy. Add the cornflakes to the melted chocolate mixture and mix well so they are all evenly covered. Put the cupcakes cases into two muffin tins then spoon into the cupcake cases until you have used all of the cornflake mix up. Top with 3 mini eggs onto the middle of each 'nest' then chill until ready to eat and enjoy!
I started my Easter baking today with Easter Biscuits. Chocolate Easter Nests are on my list too! Yours look yummy.

Your Easter nests are just so pretty. Have to make them to entertain the kids. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAre those cadbury mini eggs I see in those nests? Those are totally my vice, I could eat the whole bag! I would have egg-less nests :)
ReplyDeleteoh my mouth is watering! looks soo good Lynz!
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely adorable!! I love them so much! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteOh Lynds those look amazing! I am so making them this weekend!

Thank you all so much! I love that they are so quick and easy to make but taste SOOOOO good!
ReplyDeleteThey are Cadbury's mini eggs...I had to buy the largest bag just to make sure I had enough for this recipe and hopefully a few other things...but we'll just need to see - it's rapidly disappearing!
Very cute - a project for my little nieces to make this week I think!
ReplyDeleteAh - I make mine with crushed weetabix instead of the cornflakes and use the mini eggs too.
ReplyDeleteReally cute idea! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooks gorgeous. What a great idea to focus on the nest. All the other posts I see these days are about the eggs.:-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this beautiful post.
Thank you all! I hope those of you that try them have fun making them! : )
ReplyDeleteI loved these as a kid, I should definitely make these again but it might have to wait till next Easter now, so much to bakes, so little time.
ReplyDeleteYour nests are just prefect. x
Too cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable. And I absolutely love the combination of chocolate and cornflakes! (Ritter's Sport makes a chocolate bar with cornflakes inside - it is addictive!)
ReplyDeleteYum! Sounds amazing!! For some reason Ritter's chocolate always takes me back to my childhood... love it. Happy Easter! : )
DeleteI am loving these little cuties. I bet my nieces and nephews would go crazy for this. They look so moist.
ReplyDeleteYour name always makes me smile. And these little nests are so adorable! Perfect treat to bring to any Easter gathering.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much : )
DeleteOh YUM! What a perfect idea :) I've always loved those chocolate no bake haystacks!
ReplyDeletedelicious looking nest wonderfully presented
ReplyDeleteI think yours is the 3rd or maybe 4th "nest" recipe idea... must be the time of year, huh?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! These are actually from last year as I have been away but I would have to agree with you - it's definite that time of year! Happy Easter : )
DeleteThanks everyone and sorry for the delayed response! They are a big hit with everyone but especially children. Happy Easter to you all : )
