Easy Easter Treats - Rice Crispie Nests

Last year I showed you how to create some delicious simple Easter treats so I thought this year I would bring the tradition back and think of something new to do! Last year’s recipes included Crème Egg Cookies, Chocolate Nests and Marshmallow Bark.

Ingredients:
Few handfuls of Rice Crispies
300g White Chocolate
100g Milk Chocolate
1 cup All Bran
1 x Bag of Mini Eggs

These rice crispie nests are really easy to make and don’t cost the earth in ingredients. They are a great change to your standard nests and an alternative version of my Chocolate Nests from last year.

Start off by melting 300g white chocolate. I chose to break mine up and put it in the microwave and heat through, stirring every 30 seconds until melted. When your chocolate has melted, stir in some rice crispies. There are no exact quantities for this, just add enough that they get coated with the chocolate. Place your rice crispie mixture into cupcake cases with a spoon.

Next, melt 100g of milk chocolate and using the same method as you did with the rise crispies, add the all-bran and coat well with the chocolate. Add a teaspoon of the chocolatey all bran to the tops of your rice crispie treats and finish off with a couple of mini eggs on top.

Simple, delicious and very budget friendly! Will you be giving these a go?

Easy Easter Treats – Chocolate Nests

With Easter right around the corner, I thought I would talk about some of my favourite Easter treats and tell you how to recreate them. I always remember my mum making these every Easter. I think it was just an excuse to buy and eat mini eggs which is the same reason I am doing this today. These are so simple to make, and cost next to nothing to make. The hardest part is actually making them into cakes and not eating the mixture direct from the bowl!

Ingredients:

300g Chocolate (I used milk but feel free to vary this!)

1 bag of Mini Eggs

300g Cornflakes

Cupcake Cases

(Makes approx 12)

All you have to do to make these is melt the chocolate, and slowly fold in the cornflakes until they have a good covering of chocolate. Scoop the coated cornflakes into cupcake cases and add a couple of mini eggs to the top of them. Leave to cool and the cornflakes should stick together nicely, like little nests!

It really is that simple. These are great, and go down a treat with people of all ages – trust me!

Let me know if you’re making any Easter treats!
