Easter 'birds nest' cornflake cakes!


Hey all you lovely people! So today me and my mum made some really cute Easter cornflake cakes which are too scrummy not to share with you, and they're stupidly easy to make as well! You will need:

  1. A medium sized plastic mixing bowl
  2. A spatula and a normal spoon
  3. 200g of milk chocolate (I used Sainsburys own.. perfectly fine!)
  4. 100g of cornflakes
  5. A normal sized bag of mini eggs
  6. Cake cases, this batch made 14 normal/small sized ones so around that number or less if you want bigger cakes
  7. A tray or holder to put the cases into
So firstly break the chocolate into chunks, bung it into the bowl and put in the microwave on full temperature, for 20 seconds at a time, taking it out and stirring with the spatula as you go, because chocolate tends to begin to melt quickly and you want to avoid any burnt chocolate, that would be a crime! So after a few 20 second goes in the microwave the chocolate should be melting nicely, and take it to one side and stir around until all the chocolate has melted. Even if there are some lumpy bits of chocolate that haven't melted completely, keep stiring as the heat off of the melted chocolate will warm and melt the rest. Then add in the cornflakes, stir, stir stir, until all the cornflakes are covered... then spoon it out into the cakes which could be popped into a cake holder or onto a tray or whatever floats your boat, and then when its all gone from the bowl, pop on the mini eggs, then pop them into the fridge to cool and wait until they are solid to dig in. Easy-peasy lemon squeezy!
Hope you enjoyed this little Easter treat, they're so easy to make and taste amazing so give them a go. Have a good week :)
