Ingredients
- 84 grams Rice Cereal (3/4 US Cup)
- 270 grams Vegan Chocolate Chips (1 1/2 US Cups)
Instructions
Prep:
- Gather all of your ingredients and equipment. Place 12 cupcake cases in the cupcake pan.
To make the Birds Nests:
- Add 270 grams of vegan chocolate chips to a microwavable bowl and heat until melted. This usually takes 2-3 minutes and I highly recommend stirring every 30 seconds.
- To a large mixing bowl, add 84 grams of rice cereal then pour on the warm chocolate. Fold together with a spatula until the cereal is fully coated.
- Add scoops of the treat mix to the cupcake cases. Once all of the mix has been distributed, use the underside of the scoop to make a dent in the middle of the nests. This will help to hold the candy in place once they have set.
- Place the cupcake pan in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the nests to firm up. Once firm, decorate with mini eggs, jelly beans or other candies.
- Enjoy! And yes, they are messy to eat but that's all part of the fun.

Notes
- Yield: This recipe makes 12 easter nests which are both vegan and gluten free. Feel free to swap the rice cereal for corn flakes or shredded wheat if preferred.
- Chocolate: You can use any type of chocolate. I prefer to use chocolate chips but you can cut up bars of chocolate if you prefer. White chocolate also works so well in this recipe!
- Storage: Nests should be stored in the fridge as the chocolate will start to melt quickly at room temperature. Remove from the fridge just before serving and decorate as desired.
