Easter Rice Crispie Nests

Not the best recipe to start a baking blog with - something that requires two ingredients, minimal effort and can be done by a three-year old, however there's something about them that's just irresistible. Luckily, I have a three-year old handy who loves helping out with baking, and it means I can get away with making things like these and still looking a dab-hand!

We made these on Good Friday ready for a family gathering on Saturday, and they went down really well. We both had great fun making them and the little one was in his element throughout the decorating process.

Should I even include the recipe/method. Oh go on then! We used about 350g of Rice Krispies (however there are so many varieties out there it doesn't really matter which) with a large bar of Milk Chocolate. Melt the chocolate, mix in the Rice Krispies, then spoon the mixture into cases and decorate. For decoration, we used Mini Eggs and some little Easter character heads. Remember to get these into the cakes before they begin to set, or the eggs will just fall off.

I would end this by wishing you all a happy Easter, but that was weeks ago! Haven't had time to do any blog posts, so this is first of three for today! From now, I'm aiming to do an update at least once a fortnight, lets see how long I can keep that up for!

Happy baking!
