Easter nests are a fantastic activity to enjoy with young children, offering a fun and safe way to get them involved in cooking. Since there's no need for an oven, everything stays cool and child-friendly. Plus, all the ingredients are edible, so it doesn't matter if some ends up being eaten along the way. This recipe is a family favorite, and there are countless variations out there, but we've found ours to be the best.
To start, gather your ingredients. You'll need 8 oz (225g) of chocolate, 2 oz (50g) of marshmallows, 2 oz (50g) of butter, 2 oz (50g) of Nutella, 4 shredded wheat biscuits, and some mini chocolate eggs. Begin by melting the chocolate using either a double boiler or a microwave, then add the marshmallows, butter, and Nutella one at a time to create a smooth paste. While this is happening, set out the cake cases for the kids to place their creations in.
Next, crumble the shredded wheat into small pieces. My daughter insisted on calling it "shredded weeds," which added a touch of humor to the process. Once mixed, let the concoction cool slightly before giving each child their own bowl and cake cases. They’ll love stirring the mixture and placing it into the cases—some of it might even stay put!
After shaping the nests by patting down the mixture and forming a dip in the center, add a few mini chocolate eggs to the top. A quick taste test is always encouraged at this stage! Finally, refrigerate the nests for several hours or overnight to allow them to set.
This Easter nest recipe not only provides a delightful treat but also enhances sensory and coordination skills in young bakers. The combination of textures and flavors makes it an engaging experience for both children and adults alike. Enjoy the process and the delicious results!
If you're looking for more creative baking ideas, consider trying Robin Oreo truffles for Christmas or perhaps experimenting with mini Christmas cakes. For something outdoorsy, Campfire cupcakes could be a great twist, while Reindeer pound cake adds a festive touch to any occasion. Don’t forget the art of using flower and modeling paste in baking—it can transform simple desserts into stunning works of art.
Happy baking, and remember, the best part is sharing these sweet creations with loved ones!
