This is a super fun, not bad tasting and really cute sweet to make with the kids at Easter/spring time. The recipe - Easter Nests - is by Nigella Lawson and can be found in her Domestic Goddess book. They look like macaroons, but are not.
Basically the recipe is consists of:
Chocolate
+ Shredded Wheat
+ Mini Eggs
The recipe:
Easter Nests
(From Nigella's Domestic Goddess book):
This makes 5 nests, so increase as needed.
7 oz milk chocolate
1 oz bittersweet chocolate
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 oz shredded wheat
about 25 mini eggs for decoration
1 baking sheet, lined with oiled foil
Melt the chocolate in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Crumble the shredded wheat into it and mix. Form a nest shape about 3 inches in diameter, don't worry if it doesn't look like it will stick together, it will as it cools. Leave to cool until set, then fill the centre with the mini-eggs -about 5 per nest.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteI love this no bake cookie recipe because of the peanut butter in it! :) They are so cheery looking, eh? Happy Easter!
