Crunchy chocolate sweetie nests
Makes: 14-16
Preparation time: 20 minutes + 1 hour chilling
Ingredients
200g quality dark (or white) chocolate, broken into pieces
200g cornflakes, crushed finely
A little oil, for greasing
Sweet treats such as Jelly Beans to decorate
Method
1. Gently heat the chocolate in a large bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Remove, stir and leave for 5 minutes. Meanwhile lighly oil 12-16 small patty or jam tart tins.
2. Stir the cornflake crumbs into the melted chocolate, mixing to coat really well. Spoon a little of the mix into each patty tin. Using the back of the spoon, press the chocolate crumbs into the base and side of the patty tin to form a nest. Once all the mixture has been used up, refrigerate the nests for 1 hour or until the chocolate has set.
3. Use the tip of a rounded knife to slip each nest out from the tin. Fill the nests with chocolate bean sweet treats.
