Easter Baking Fun
One of the best Easter activities I like to do as a nanny is to make Chocolate Easter Nests with the children. They are so simple and effective, and of course delicious!

To make 10 Chocolate Easter Nests you will need:
- 225g Plain Chocolate
- 50g Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Golden Syrup
- 100g Cornflakes or Shredded Wheat
- 30 Chocolate Mini Eggs
- Paper Cases
- Baking tray with shallow pans
How to make Chocolate Easter Nests
- Put ten paper cases into the baking tray, break the chocolate into squares and place in a large pan
- Add the butter to the pan. Dip a tablespoon in some hot water, then use the spoon to add the golden syrup
- Heat the pan gently, stirring the ingredients all the time, until the butter and chocolate have completely melted
- Turn off the heat, then add the cornflakes/shredded wheat to the mixture, gently stir until they are completely covered
- Fill the paper cases with the mixture, using the back of a teaspoon make a hollow in the middle of each nest
- Arrange 3 mini eggs in each nest then put the tray in the fridge and leave it for about an hour to set
- Take the nests out of the fridge and remove the paper cases and place on a plate. Keep them in the fridge until you want to eat them.
(They should be stored in an air tight container in the fridge and eaten within 3 days).
This is a great recipe as it is quick and easy and perfect for the under 5s as you don't need to use the oven and they don't take long to make - great for those short attention spans!
