    How to make chocolate cornflake nests

    Then you just need to melt it all together, then stir in the cornflakes into the mixture.

    There are lots of steps that are great for getting even young kids involved: breaking up the chocolate, stirring in the cornflakes, and of course adding the little eggs on top.

    How to melt chocolate

    The only tricky part to this chocolate cornflakes recipe that kids will need some supervision with is melting the chocolate.

    To do this properly, you need to place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and melt the chocolate/butter/syrup mixture slowly, stirring constantly.

    Don't try to melt the chocolate directly in a saucepan as it will become grainy, and nobody wants a grainy Easter chocolate nest!

    If you have a Thermomix, you can just add the ingredients to the jug, and heat for 4 minutes / 50 degrees / speed 2. Then pour the mixture into a bowl with the cornflakes.
