Choc-Coconut Crackle Nests

Serves: 24
Prep: 10
Cook: 0

Only three ingredients, and no baking required, these cute chocolate nests are a fun project for the whole family.

Ingredients

  • 4 Weet-Bix, crushed
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, lightly toasted
  • 180 g dark chocolate, melted
  • Fresh blueberries, mini chocolate eggs, or toasted almonds

Method

  1. Step 1

    Line 24 holes of a mini-muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. Step 2

    Combine Weet-Bix and coconut in a large bowl, and mix well. Add melted chocolate and stir to evenly coat.

  3. Step 3

    Scoop tablespoons of the chocolate mixture into the prepared tin. Use a small spoon to create a nest-shape – pressing mixture up the edges, and making an indent in the centre.

  4. Step 4

    Refrigerate until set. To serve, remove chocolate nests from tin and fill with blueberry, chocolate, or almond ‘eggs’.

Tips

  • Nests can also be formed on a baking paper lined tray, if preferred. Divide mixture into mounds and use a small spoon to form shallow nests.
  • When melting chocolate, cease heating when a few pieces of un-melted chocolate remain – then stir until fully melted and smooth. This step will help the chocolate to temper and set at room temperature. However, if nests don’t firm-up on their own after 5 - 10 minutes, transfer to refrigerator.
