Easter nests are great fun to make and simple enough for little ones to help with too. I can’t remember an Easter of my childhood when we didn’t make Easter nests to be honest!
Easter nests in our house are basically chocolate cornflake cakes with a twist, you don’t use cornflakes, you use shredded wheat. The shredded wheat makes the cakes look more nest-like, resembling twigs!
