Easter Treats: Chocolate Cornflake Nests

Looking for a quick, no-fuss Easter activity? These chocolate cornflake nests are a firm favourite in our house, simple to make, a little bit messy, and always a big hit with little ones.

They’re perfect for tiny hands to help with, and decorating them with mini eggs turns them into the sweetest little Easter nests. 

🍫 What you’ll need:

• 200g milk chocolate
• 100g cornflakes
• Mini eggs (or any small chocolate eggs)
• Cupcake cases

How to make them:

1. Melt the chocolate
   Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
2. Mix with the cornflakes
   Pour the cornflakes into a large bowl, then add the melted chocolate. Gently stir until all the cornflakes are coated.
3. Shape your nests
   Spoon the mixture into cupcake cases and use the back of the spoon to press a little dip into the middle to form a nest shape.
4. Add the eggs
   Pop a few mini eggs on top of each nest while the chocolate is still soft.
5. Leave to set
   Pop them in the fridge to set.

Why we love this activity

It’s quick, simple, and perfect for little helpers. Mixing and spooning helps develop coordination and confidence, and the best part is sharing (and eating!) the finished nests together.
