Chocolate and peanut butter Easter nests

If you’ve been invited an Easter lunch and you’re stuck on what sweet treats to bring that haven’t already been made a million times before, then try these cute chocolate nests. Not only will the novelty sweets be a hit with any kids in attendance, but the delicious mix of peanut butter and melted milk chocolate will also have the adults coming back for more. 

You can also try a mixture of flavours by substituting milk chocolate with white or dark for varying tastes.

Ingredients

• 200g milk chocolate melts
• 2 tbsp  crunchy peanut butter
• 100g packet fried noodles
• 125g packet candy coated mini chocolate easter eggs

Method

1. Grease a 12-hole round based patty pan. Line each individual hole with baking paper.
2. Place a heatproof bowl over gently simmering water. Combine chocolate and peanut butter in bowl and slowly melt. Stir occasionally until a smooth mixture forms. Remove from heat. Add noodles to bowl and stir to generously coat the noodles in chocolate mixture.
3. Spoon the noodle mixture evenly into the prepared holes. Using the back of a spoon press gently down on the top of the mixture to mould into a nest shape where the chocolates will sit. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until set. 
4. Gently remove each nest from the baking paper. Top each nest with three eggs. Serve.
