Makes 12 - Easy
Ingredients:
  • 75 g milk chocolate
  • 75 g dark chocolate
  • 2 Mars bars
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp golden syrup
  • About 5 Shredded Wheat, crumbled
  • 36 mini chocolate eggs

You will need a 12-hole cupcake tray and fluffy yellow chicks, to decorate.

Instructions:

  1. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper, or put paper cases into a 12-hole cupcake tray. Set aside.
  2. Break the chocolate into pieces and chop the Mars bars into small slices. Put them all into a pan with the butter and syrup and melt over a low heat, stirring regularly to make sure the mixture doesn’t stick or burn. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
  3. Stir about a third of the Shredded Wheat into the melted chocolate and mix really well. Continue adding the Shredded Wheat a little at a time and mixing after each addition. Stop adding if it looks like there is not enough chocolate to cover any more.
  4. Spoon 12 dollops of the mixture onto the baking tray or into the paper cases. Make a dent in the middle with your fingertip or the handle of a wooden spoon and press three eggs into it while still wet.
  5. Put the tray in the fridge for a few hours to set.

Sit a fluffy chick on top of some of the nests before serving.

There you have it – dessert is served! Happy Easter all!
