Ingredients:
- 200 g milk chocolate
- 4 tbsp smooth peanut butter (or substitute as needed for allergies)
- 40 g rice crispies
- 30 g mini eggs, lightly crushed
- Begin by gently melting the milk chocolate in a large bowl using the microwave. Heat in 10-second bursts, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
- Mix in the peanut butter until well combined with the chocolate.
- Stir in the rice crispies, ensuring they are evenly coated with the chocolate and peanut butter mixture.
- Using an ice cream scoop, portion the mixture into a mini muffin tray lined with paper cases.
- Press a small nest of lightly crushed mini eggs into the top of each cup to decorate.
- Refrigerate the tray for 1-2 hours to allow the cups to set firmly.
- Once set, these mini cups can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge, where they'll keep for 2-3 weeks—though they're so delicious, they may not last that long!
