Corn­flake Nests (as dec­o­rated by Joseph)

This is so sim­ple it can barely be called a recipe, but my two-year-old son seems enthralled by mak­ing them (and eat­ing all the ingre­di­ents as we progress), so I fig­ured it might as well get writ­ten up.

Ingre­di­ents

Makes 18.

• 200g bak­ing milk chocolate
• 100g-ish corn­flakes (I use Crunchy Nut so that I can face the prospect of hav­ing the rest of the box for breakfast)
• One packet of mini eggs

Recipe

Break the choco­late into pieces, and place it in a bowl above a pan of sim­mer­ing water. Stir gen­tly, and when com­pletely melted, mix in the corn­flakes until they’re coated.

Put a table­spoon of the choco­latey corn­flakes in each paper cake case, mak­ing a dent in the mid­dle. Put a cou­ple of mini eggs in said dent et voilá! Nest.
