I've mentioned recently, a very dear friend is in hospital recovering, positively I'm relieved to say, from a stroke. My other dear friend Morag (who has gone above and beyond in keeping me posted on progress) and I have been doing hospital drops taking treats for the Staff as well as the patient.
Here's my homage to an Easter Egg Hunt that couldn't be!
Upside Down Nests
200g plain chocolate, broken into small pieces
30g golden syrup
50g unsalted butter
100g cornflakes – crushed finely
2 x 80g bags of mini eggs (25 per bag)
Petit Fours cases
Makes 40 approximately
Place the chocolate, syrup and butter into a bowl and melt over a pan of simmering water.
While this is melting, place the Petit Fours cases on a tray and then a mini egg in each case.
Whisk the chocolate mixture together until it's smooth and shiny, then remove from the heat. Add the cornflakes and mix to coat evenly.
Top each egg with a teaspoon of the chocolate mixture – I used a short handled measuring spoon aided by a cocktail stick – it gives you control of the mixture and you won't overfill. Place in the fridge to set.
The treat needed to be easy to “pop in the mouth” for the Staff whilst on a break, grabbing a quick brew.
Here's the result …
