Introduction: How to Make Chocolate Nests

Using shredded wheat cereal to create a nest makes for an easy project that even the kids will enjoy making. The final nest shape makes this a perfect table topper for parties. Add some small Easter eggs for Easter or candy corn for Halloween and you've got a creative, versatile and unique treat! This is what you'll need:
400 grams (14 ounces) of milk or dark chocolate
24 chocolate mini eggs, candy corn, or any other delicious candy (sweets)
4 tablespoons (85 grams) honey
4 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
5 shredded wheat bars (available from the cereal aisle of any supermarket)

Step 1: Shredded Wheat

Pull apart the shredded wheat into a bowl. Set to one side.

Step 2: Break Up Chocolate

Break up the chocolate and place it into a boil-proof measuring cup. Then place the measuring cup into a pan of boiling water and allow the chocolate to melt.

Step 3: Honey, Add Some Honey!

Watch the chocolate. When you notice it has melted completely, add the honey and stir through slowly.

Step 4: Pour Chocolate Mixture

Pour the chocolate mixture over the shredded wheat in the bowl.

Step 5: Sesame Seeds

Add the sesame seed. Mix everything together. It's fairly messy, so using a spoon is cleaner than using your fingers.

Step 6: Cupcake Papers

Spoon the mixture into cupcake papers. Press down the center of the mixture with your thumb to create a well and add a few mini eggs, candy corn, or any other suitable candy of your choice.

Step 7: Refrigerate

Allow it to set. Place the nests in a cool spot, or even in the refrigerator, to set.
