Advantages: Quick and easy, Children will enjoy making them, Cheap

Disadvantages: Calories

This is a really simple recipe which children will enjoy helping you make this Easter holiday. They would make great presents to give to friends/parents/grandparents. I have been making them with my children for 11 years now.

INGREDIENTS
butter
golden syrup
drinking chocolate powder
shredded wheat
mini eggs

METHOD
Put roughly equal amounts of butter and syrup into a saucepan. Stir over a low heat and add the drinking chocolate, adjusting the quantity according to how chocolatey you like your cakes. Remove from the heat when it has all blended together and allow to cool slightly. Crush some shredded wheat biscuits and add to the mixture until it has all been absorbed.
Spoon out into cake cases and shape roughly into a nest. Set for a couple of hours in the fridge. Drop three mini eggs into each nest. You can use either speckled eggs ( Marks and Spencer sell some fine ones ) or foil covered chocolate ones ( available from all good sweet shops).

Happy Easter
