Chocolate Crunch Nests For Easter Recipes

CHOCOLATE BIRDS' NESTS

Steps:

• Melt 8 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring. Remove the bowl from the pan and stir in 2 cups canned potato sticks. Coat a 6-cup muffin pan with cooking spray and scoop some of the chocolate mixture into the cups; make an indentation in each to form nests. Chill until set, at least 3 hours. Fill with marcona almonds.

CHOCOLATE CRUNCH NESTS FOR EASTER

Steps:

• Melt the syrup, chocolate and butter together in double-saucepan or microwave.
• Add the cornflakes and mix well, so that they are all well-covered.
• Press into lightly-greased ramekins, or large muffin cups, and hollow up the sides into nest shapes.
• There should be enough for 10 nests.
• Leave to cool and set.
• When set, turn them out by running a sharp knife round the edge of each nest.
• For the filling, simply whip the cream and add the grated chocolate- you may need to add sugar to the cream if you are using fruit.

CHOCOLATE TIFFIN EASTER NEST

Steps:

• Line a 20cm round cake tin with a large paper cake tin liner, or cling film. Heat the butter and golden syrup in a large heavy-based saucepan over a gentle heat. Once melted, add the vanilla extract and all the chocolate. Continue heating gently until the chocolate has melted, stirring every now and then to combine.
• Remove the pan from the heat and mix through the pretzel sticks, shredded wheat, chocolate-covered raisins and peanuts. Transfer to the prepared tin, pressing in and around its sides, creating a dip in the centre to produce a nest shape. Chill for 1 hr or until set. To serve, remove from tin, scatter with extra pretzels (if you like) and fill with an assortment of chocolate eggs. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
