Caramel Meringue Easter Nests are quick, easy to make and a delicious, fun sweet treat for Easter !

You can get these caramel meringue Easter nests ready in a matter of minutes, if you have the meringue nests already on hand. Either store-bought or homemade will do.

Our supermarket sells meringues in all shapes as well as various sized nests. The ones I am using here is about 5cm (2 inches) in diameter.

You can use smaller ones, or even one large meringue. But do remember a filled meringue needs to be eaten as soon as possible after filling, as they tend to go soft and will fall apart.

The recipe yields 1 cup of Caramel Filling and any leftovers can be kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
