Best use of all the chocolate hanging around according to my (teen) DCs!
They're going to make a "shed load" of these tomorrow apparently 😁

What's the best for the nest material -
Krispies
Cornflakes
Shredders
Other?

Shredded wheat was always used in the recipes I’ve seen for chocolate nests, cornflakes are tastier though.

I use shredded wheat and milk chocolate. No need for butter or syrup.

I prefer cornflakes, can't stand shredded wheat

The butter and syrup make them nice and gooey, just chocolate they set hard, I prefer the former.

Oh yes, def need some butter and syrup in the mix!

Butter syrup and cornflakes (we got a box in M&S for 75p)

Shredded wheat and milk chocolate.

I don't add butter or syrup.

Shredded cardboard wheat is horrible.
One year DD received a ridiculous number of Easter eggs, so I decided to melt some Cadburys eggs to make cornflake cakes. I ended up throwing it all in the bin. I have no idea what is in Cadburys "milk chocolate", but it didn't melt properly.

It was disgusting.

When kids were little, they liked rice krispies.
Now they're older and make them themselves, they prefer cornflakes.
We've never actually tried shreddies as don't have them in.

We used shredded wheat this year - melted with butter, chocolate, syrup and marshmallows (a waitrose recipe). Haven't yet tried one....

Rice krispies - with melted marsbars as the glue. Much softer than chocolate as the glue.

We always make rice crispy cakes.
Just rice Krispies and galaxy chocolate melted together nothing else. Mini eggs on top.

Ime so long as you use plenty of chocolate the cooling down sticks them together just fine.
