Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups cornflakes cereal
- 6 oz (170g) milk chocolate (or white/dark chocolate), melted
- 1 tbsp peanut butter (optional for extra creaminess)
- Mini chocolate eggs or jelly beans for decoration
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter (if using) for extra richness.
- Coat the Cornflakes: Add the cornflakes to the melted chocolate and gently stir until fully coated.
- Shape the Nests: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the mixture into small nest-shaped piles on the parchment paper. Use the back of a spoon to create a small indent in the center of each nest.
- Add the Eggs & Set: Place mini chocolate eggs or jelly beans into the center of each nest. Let the nests set at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm.
Notes
- For a twist, try using white or dark chocolate for a different flavor.
- These nests can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- You can also try adding a drizzle of melted chocolate over the top for a decorative finish.
