One of my favourite things to do at Easter time is to whip up a batch of chocolate easter nest cakes. It's such a fun activity to do with the children and they love it. I just knew that I had to come up with a vegan alternative - so here we are - vegan chocolate easter nests.
To be fair, the recipe for these isn't too different to your usual crispy nests, they just use vegan chocolate. Try to use the best quality chocolate you can, it will really make a difference to the taste. If you are making these for little ones who prefer a sweeter chocolate then add the golden syrup to take the edge off the strength of the dark chocolate.
When you are decorating these just bear in mind to check the sprinkles to be sure that they are vegan. Sometimes the colouring (especially red) may not be vegan. I usually can find vegan sprinkles in the supermarket but if you are struggling they do have vegan sprinkles on Amazon too.
I didn't manage to find vegan mini eggs so for this recipe I made my own using shop bought marzipan and coloured them with food colouring. Again, just make sure that the colouring is vegan, and if you are making these for children consider buying natural food colouring. However, now I buy vegan mini eggs from Doisy & Dam.
So I hope you enjoy making these with your family, and enjoying them over Easter in the lovely spring weather. While you are here, check out these other vegan Easter recipes...

Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water or using a microwave on the defrost setting.

- Spoon into cupcake cases, leaving a little dent in the middle if you want to put eggs in there.
- Decorate with eggs made from coloured marzipan or vegan mini eggs and sprinkle with sprinkles before leaving to set somewhere cool.
Substitutions / Variations
You can use vegan white chocolate or milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate if you prefer or if you have vegan easter eggs leftover, you could melt them up to use.
You could also decorate with shop bought decorations such as fluffy chicks, almond flakes or vegan marshmallows.
You can use cornflakes, shredded wheat or alpen instead of rice krispies.
You can add some extra goodness to the mix by adding dried fruit, raisins or nuts and seeds to the rice crispies before you add the chocolate.
