Cooking with Kids: Chocolate rice krispie nests

I wanted something simple to make with Alfie for the coming Easter. Him being only 14 months old I thought it was best to make cakes were no oven or baking was involved. Chocolate rice krispie nests perfectly fit the bill. Alfie had so much fun making these and even more fun eating them (minus the Mini Eggs of course!).
 
 
 
How to make Rice Krispie nests
 
Ingredients:
Rice Krispies
A 200g bar of chocolate (we used milk)
Mini eggs
 
Instructions:
1. Start by breaking the chocolate into small pieces into a large bowl. Have a nibble if you must, Alfie did! 

2. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until melted.
Tip: At this point you can add a tablespoon of golden syrup to the melted chocolate, this stops the chocolate from setting too quickly.
3. Add rice krispies to the mixture bit by bit until all the rice krispies are covered with the chocolate. Alfie decided to have a taste at this point - just to make sure there was good chocolate coverage!
4. Spoon the chocolate covered rice krispies into cake cakes and add the mini eggs before the chocolate sets.
Simple as that, perfect for little fingers to make and totally delicious! What's your favourite Easter treats?
