Chocolate Easter nests
Fab to make with children, these easy chocolate cornflake cakes are a year-round favourite. Add mini eggs to give them a Easter twist.

- 2 tbsp golden syrup 50g/2oz
- butter 75g/2¾oz cornflakes or puffed rice cereal
- 36 mini chocolate eggs
Method
- Line a 12-hole fairy cake tin with paper cases, or grease the tin for caseless nests.
- Melt the chocolate, golden syrup and butter in a bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (do not let the base of the bowl touch the water). Stir the mixture occasionally until smooth.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and gently stir in the cornflakes until all of the cereal is coated in the chocolate.
- 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.
