I’m sure not many of you need to know a recipe for Rice Krispie cakes but you never know ..also I thought it would be fun to share it with you.

Izzy is really getting into spending time in the kitchen and I am keen to encourage this .. Mainly as it means I also get to be in the kitchen!

Today she wanted to cook but we were running short on time and I was running extremely low on energy so I thought why not Rice Krispie cakes? Easy peasy.

I must have made these a hundred times been but this was my favourite time.

I always use the same recipe which is:

200g of Milk Chocolate
125g of butter
6 tbsp of Golden syrup
200g Rice Krispies
*Mini marshmallows (optional)

Melt your chocolate, butter and syrup together in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water – best to avoid letting your child do this part. Then let your little one mix the Krispies in gradually until they are all coated.

We decided for fun to add in some marshmallows so we put a dollop of Krispie mix into the cake case followed by a marshmallow and some more Krispies and a marshmallow.. Repeat until all your mix has gone. It makes about 24. Leave to chill until hardened.

It’s worth noting that these are extremely addictive. If you tell yourself you will only eat one then you are only lying to yourself.
