We’ve been busy in the kitchen, making some super-easy (and very, very yummy) no-bake Easter treats. Chocolate cornflake nests, with Cadbury’s Mini Eggs, are great to make with kids, as they are really quick and easy. Of course you can just melt chocolate and mix it with cornflakes, but my recipe for indulgent chocolate cornflake Easter nests is a more gooey version that makes them extra special.

Chocolate Cornflake Easter Nests Ingredients

To make approximately 12 good-sized delicious no-bake Easter treats, you’ll need:

• 200g bar of chocolate — milk or plain both work well, but kids tend to prefer milk chocolate in my experience
• 50g butter
• 3 tablespoons of golden syrup
• around 100g of cornflakes
• Cadbury mini eggs to decorate

Chocolate Cornflake Nests Method

Set out 12 paper cake cases, or grease a muffin tin if you don’t have any.

Gently melt the chocolate, butter and golden syrup together. You can do this very slowly in a saucepan over the hob, in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, or even in a microwave.

Add some salt if you like.

Stir in 100g of cornflakes and you get this gooey, crunchy load of deliciousness. This mix makes enough for around 12 good sizes nests.

You may find you need to add more cornflakes, if there is a lot left in the bowl.

ALTERNATIVE: you could use Rice Krispies or Shredded Wheat if you don't have Cornflakes.

Next just scoop the mixture into the cake cases. I put them into a muffin tin to help them keep their shape, and to a make it easier for the girls to fill them.

Decorate Your Chocolate Cornflake Easter Nests

Finally, add a couple of Mini Eggs, and a chick if you have them, and your nests are good to go.

You could also add on a sprinkle of desiccated coconut if you like. Leave to set for a while, if you can wait!

The girls were very proud of their chocolate cornflake Easter nests.
