These no-bake Easter Nests are crunchy, chocolatey, and perfect for spring celebrations! Made with shredded wheat, melted chocolate, and colorful candy eggs, they’re a whimsical treat kids and adults adore.
Ingredients
- 200 g white chocolate chopped
- color of choice
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter or coconut oil for vegan
- 2 cups shredded wheat cereal lightly crushed
- 12 mini candy eggs or dairy-free alternatives
- 1 tsp honey or golden syrup optional, for binding
Instructions
- Prep the tin: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
- Melt chocolate, butter & color of choice : In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate and butter in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Mix cereal: Fold crushed cereal into the chocolate until fully coated. Add honey if needed for stickiness.
- Shape nests: Divide mixture into the tin. Use a spoon to press a hollow into each nest.
- Add eggs: Place 3-4 candy eggs in the center of each nest.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until set. Serve at room temperature.
Notes
For crispier nests, toast shredded wheat at 300°F for 5 minutes before using.
Tempering chocolate (see blog tips) ensures a glossy finish.
Store in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 5 days.
