Notes
- We used the mixture to make 6 big Easter nests, but you could make 12 smaller ones if you prefer.
- You don't have to put them into cupcake cases. You could use an ice cream scoop and scoop them onto a lined baking tray and put them in the fridge like this. They will look a bit more rustic like real birds nest like this.
- We used milk chocolate, but you would use a mixture of milk and dark chocolate.
- We melted everything together in a bowl, however if you wanted to avoid splitting then melt the butter and syrup first and then melt the chocolate into that.
- Try not to pack the nests down too much as they will be too chewy.
