How to Make Chocolate Crunch Nests For Easter

  1. Melt 100g chocolate and 50g butter with 2 tablespoons golden syrup in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Stir until combined.
  2. Add 150g cornflakes and mix thoroughly until all flakes are evenly coated in the chocolate mixture.
  3. Lightly grease 10 ramekins or large muffin tins. Press the chocolate cornflake mixture into each ramekin, creating a nest shape by pressing up the sides to form a hollow center.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until completely set.
  5. Once set, carefully run a thin knife around the edges of each nest to loosen it from the ramekin.
  6. Gently turn the nests out onto a serving plate.
  7. For the filling: Whip 200ml double cream until soft peaks form. Add 25g grated chocolate and, if using fruit, adjust sweetness with sugar to taste.
  8. Fill each nest with the whipped cream mixture and decorate with mini Easter eggs.
