RECIPE NOTES AND TIPS

Use good quality chocolate - Better chocolate melts more smoothly and gives the best flavour.
Melt chocolate gently - Always use low power (50% power) in the microwave to avoid overheating or burning.
Use store-bought smooth peanut butter - homemade can be too oily.
Work quickly - The chocolate mixture will start setting as it cools, so shape the nests soon after mixing.
Use a spoon or small ice cream scoop - This helps keep the nests evenly sized.
Press the centre while still soft - If the mixture sets before shaping properly, it can be harder to create the nest shape.
Storage - Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Freezing - Freeze in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Allow nests to thaw in the fridge before serving.
