Break up the
chocolate and place in a pyrex bowl.
Place this bowl over a pan of simmering water –

While the
chocolate is melting, crush the shredded wheat by putting it into a plastic
food bag. Seal and hit with a rolling pin until all the ‘pillows’ are
completely destroyed!!
Add the shredded
wheat to the melted chocolate and stir well so that the shredded wheat is completely
covered! Spoon this mixture into cake cases and then press the back of a
teaspoon into each case to create the basket shape.
Add 3 mini eggs
to each nest plus any other decorations
that take your fancy! (For UK readers, our decorations are from Waitrose!) Place in the
fridge for 1-2 hours to harden. Take out 15 minutes before eating. Enjoy!
