A great alternative to the traditional chocolate nests. Far lower in saturated fat and a good source of fibre. What’s not to enjoy! So simple kids will love to help make (and eat!).
Ingredients
4 shredded wheat, crushed
2 tbsp coco powder
4 tbsp brown sugar
8 tbsp semi skimmed milk
16 chocolate mini eggs
Method
- Place 16 fairy cake cases on to a tray
- Add cocoa powder, brown sugar and milk to a small saucepan
- Heat on a medium heat, constantly whisking, until thickens and is silky in appearance, like a chocolate caramel sauce
- Remove from heat
- Add the crushed wheat and mix with a wooden spoon until all the wheat strands are coated
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the fairy cake cases
- Using a square of greaseproof paper, gently push down so the grains are packed together
- Top each nest with 1 mini egg
- Place the tray in the freezer for 1 hour to set
