Firstly Melt down the chocolate resisting the temptation to eat it (which is just too hard!!)

Melted chocolate stirred smooth with a spoon in a brown glass mixing bowl

Next start making the coating for the large eggs to make them look like mini eggs, mix the icing sugar with a little bit of water and the food colouring they need lots so make it nice and thick!! then put them in the fridge to set should take about 1 to 2 hours.

Once the chocolate is melted start mixing in the rice crispies make sure that its not tooooooo chocolately which would taste amazing but take a bout 3 days to set! once this is done put greasepoof paper into a large bowl an put the mixture in, put a smaller bowl in the middle to make the nest part then put in the fridge to set should take about 1 to 2 hours
