Next, melt the chocolates, butter and golden syrup together in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water (make sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water). Alternatively, microwave in a bowl on full power for 15sec bursts until melted.

2 Add the cornflakes to the melted chocolate mixture and stir to coat.

3 Load the coated cornflakes on to the parchment, inside the marked circle, mounding up the sides to make it look like a nest. Chill to set, which should take about 2hr.

4 To serve, fill the nest with chocolate eggs.
