Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 200 grams (7 ounces) milk chocolate, finely chopped
- 200 grams (7 ounces) dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) unsalted butter
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) golden syrup
- 6–8 full-size Shredded Wheat
Topping Ingredients:
- 100–200 grams (3.5–7 ounces) Easter chocolates
Instructions
- Carefully break Shredded Wheat into fine crumbles within a spacious mixing vessel.
- In a medium saucepan, gently warm butter and golden syrup over low heat, stirring periodically until butter completely dissolves.
- Remove saucepan from heat source and incorporate chopped chocolate, stirring smoothly until chocolate melts entirely and creates a glossy mixture.
- Pour warm chocolate blend over crushed wheat fragments, folding thoroughly to ensure every morsel becomes evenly coated.
- Using tablespoons or a designated scoop, shape chocolate-coated wheat into delicate nest-like formations on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Gently nestle three decorative Easter chocolates atop each chocolate creation.
- Transfer tray to refrigerator and allow nests to solidify for approximately 20-30 minutes, or until chocolate becomes firm and structure holds its shape.
Notes
- Choose alternative cereals like cornflakes or rice krispies for different textures and crunch levels.
- Experiment with dark, milk, or white chocolate variations to customize flavor profiles.
- Use dairy-free chocolate and vegan butter alternatives to create plant-based friendly version.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt over chocolate mixture to enhance overall sweetness and complexity of taste.
