The base of these Easter nests can be done in many ways. Some would cut it short and use cornflakes. Others prefer using shredded wheat instead. However, if you want to have shaped crunchy nests, then you’ve got to use vermicelli or fried noodles. 

Making these Easter nests is too much fun! Melting dark, brown, and white chocolate to have a versatile range of nests is amazing. White nests are not that famous but are still delicious. If you have a sweet tooth, then you can always go with milk chocolate. Otherwise, dark chocolate is your best friend. You can choose it as well flavored with orange, mint, sea salt and the list goes on. Now, let’s dig deep into this topic and see how you can prepare these tasty chocolate Easter nests at home!

So, what are the ingredients of these Easter nests?

To make these nests, you will only need a very few ingredients:

  • Chocolate: you can use dark, milk, or white chocolate in this recipe.

  • Vegetable oil: to stir fry the vermicelli

How to make this recipe?

These nests look wonderful, right? Don’t panic. Making them is much easier than you think. 

Start first by stir-frying the vermicelli in oil until they slightly become gold and crispy.

Drain the oil then set the vermicelli aside to cool.

In the meantime, melt the chocolate and let them cool.

Then use the muffins mold to shape the nests as you pour the melted chocolate over the vermicelli.

Finally decorate these nests with a few small colorful Easter eggs.
