Ingredients

For chocolate nest:

100 g rice krispies or shredded wheat (crushed)
88 g milk chocolate chips
88 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
93 g unsalted butter
93 g light corn syrup
⅛ tsp salt

Topping:

Heart-shaped chocolate

Instructions

Prepare the chocolate nest:

Line muffin tin with cupcake liners
Put butter, light corn syrup, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until butter is melted.
Remove from the heat and stir in both chocolate and continue to stir until all the chocolate melts
Stir in the rice krispies or crushed shredded wheat into the chocolate mixture and stir to combine everything evenly

Assembling:

Spoon the chocolate mixture into the muffin cups. Use the back of the spoon to press the cereal mixture into the pan, slightly hollow at the center and higher around the edge. The slightly hollow center is for you to put the heart-shaped chocolate. Press the cereal mixture firmly against the pan so they stick together and won't fall apart easily.
I use this Hershey's heart chocolate candy. You can use whatever you want
Place one piece of heart-shaped chocolate in the hollow. Feel free to use whatever chocolate you want. I used Hershey's heart-shaped chocolate and it is quite large, so I only need one. I also use the white chocolate color so it looks more contrast against the dark brown chocolate nest

Let the nests set:

Leave them to set for about 2 hours. You can speed up the process by putting them in the fridge too

Storage:

They can be kept in an air-tight container, at room temperature, for up to one week. They freeze well too. Simply thaw at room temperature before serving
