- 250 g milk chocolate baking chocolate or chocolate coating; broken into pieces
- 30 ml heavy cream e.g. double cream. Room temp.
- 100 g cornflakes
- 135 g mini eggs or other small chocolate eggs to decorate
In a large heatproof bowl, slowly melt the chocolate in the microwave (20sec bouts, stirring between) until smooth.
Stir in the room temperature (or warmed) cream until combined.
Pour in the cornflakes and gently stir through until fully coated.
Scoop the coated cornflakes into cupcake cases (either in a muffin tin or on a tray), using a spoon to push them aside in the middle to leave a small indent like a nest.
Decorate your nests with a few chocolate eggs inside the indents you’ve made. Refrigerate until set (roughly 10mins) then enjoy!
- If you prefer a chewy chocolate cornflake nest, you can stir in 1 tablespoon (10g) of marshmallow fluff to your melted chocolate before you add in the cornflakes.
- Instead of cornflakes, you can use another cereal like frosted flakes (which will make it sweeter) or rice krispies.
