Chocolate Wheat Nests

This is a simple way to use up excess easter eggs. The wheat biscuits provide fibre, vitamins and minerals, making these a more nutritious treat than chocolate alone.

Prep:

mins

Cook:

mins

Microwave

2 small easter eggs + any plain chocolate sweets included (e.g. buttons, Freddo pieces) or 2 large easter eggs

4 wheat biscuits (e.g. Weetabix or own label brand)

Break chocolate egg / chocolate pieces into small chunks and place in a microwavable bowl.
Melt chocolate by heating on high for approx. 2 minutes, stirring well after 1 minute.
Crumble the wheat biscuits into the melted chocolate and mix well until all the crumbs are covered in chocolate.
Using a muffin tray filled with paper cases, divide mixture and push down using the back of a teaspoon to create a nest shape.
Leave to harden for 1-2 hours at room temperature, or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Fill with 3 small sweets or chocolate balls, or for a healthier option fill with 3 small grapes or blueberries.
The chocolate nests will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
