Golden Honey Popcorn Easter Egg Nests

Ingredients:

90g Australian butter, chopped

1/3 cup castor sugar

1 tablespoon honey

4 cups plain popcorn

1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts (optional)

24-27 small solid chocolate eggs or 8-9 medium eggs, to garnish

Method:

Bring butter, sugar and honey to the boil in a saucepan over a moderate heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Pour mixture over the combined popcorn and nuts and mix gently but thoroughly.
Spoon the mixture into paper case-lined muffin trays and make a small well in the centre, to resemble a nest.
Bake at 150°C for 10 minutes or until golden. Cool before placing chocolate eggs in the centre of each and storing in an airtight container until required.

Tips & Hints:

A little salt may be added to the honey mixture for a sweet and salty flavour! 1/4 cup popcorn kernels yields 4 cups popped corn. Simply follow instructions on the back of the pack to cook. Nests can also be filled with speckled candy coated Easter eggs.
