INGREDIENTS (makes 10-12)
- 200g 50% dark chocolate, chopped
- 50g coconut oil or butter
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 3 cups cornflakes
- Chocolate mini eggs, to finish
METHOD
- Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl, and place over a pot of simmering water. Stir until completely melted, then remove from the heat.
- In a small frying pan, toast the coconut over a medium heat until golden in colour. Add to the chocolate mixture, followed by the cornflakes. Stir well until the cornflakes are coated evenly in the chocolate and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Spoon two tablespoons of mixture onto a lined baking tray, keeping to a circular shape. Repeat until the mixture is used, then nestle 2-3 mini eggs on top. Place into the fridge to set for a minimum of 2 hours or until completely set. Enjoy and store in an airtight container in the fridge or a cool, dark place.
