    Made loads of these and took them into work, they were so quick and easy and I had to make a new batch the next day because they were all gone!

    I made this with my daughter and they are definitely easy for little kids to make. Foolproof. As my daughter is a bit of a fool.

    Try it with all-bran, which looks quite realistic for your "nest". Either way, dead easy - even with a mixed class of 4-to 11-year-olds.

    I made these in my food lesson at school. They were relatively easy to make, but took around 30-45 mins to make! There was not enough chocolate for 500g of mini shredded wheat. I even borrowed some from someone and they still didn't set properly. Also, I do not think that 30 are needed, possibly 15-20 nests would have been better.
