Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 200g milk chocolate
Cereal
- 75g Rice Krispies cereal
Decoration (Optional)
- Mini chocolate eggs or any small sweet for decoration
Miscellaneous
- Paper cupcake liners
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate: Break the milk chocolate into small pieces and place them into a heatproof bowl to ensure even melting.
- Melt the chocolate: Choose either the microwave or double boiler method. For the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted. For the double boiler, place the bowl over simmering water making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- Mix with cereal: Remove the melted chocolate from heat and quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring thoroughly to coat all the cereal evenly with chocolate.
- Fill cupcake liners: Spoon the chocolate and cereal mixture into paper cupcake liners, ideally placed in a cupcake tray to maintain shape while setting.
- Add decoration: While the chocolate is still soft, press mini chocolate eggs or small candies gently on top of each cake for a festive finish.
- Set the cakes: Allow the cakes to set at room temperature for 20-30 minutes or place them in the refrigerator to set faster.
- Serve: Once the chocolate has fully hardened, remove the cakes from the tray and enjoy your delicious old school chocolate rice crispy cakes.
Notes
- You can substitute milk chocolate with dark or white chocolate depending on your preference.
- For quicker setting, refrigerate the chocolate rice crispy cakes but avoid leaving them for too long to prevent condensation.
- Try different small candies or sprinkles for decoration to add a personal touch.
- Store the cakes in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Be careful when melting chocolate to avoid burning it; stir frequently.
