Method

  • step 1

    Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl with the butter and golden syrup and gently melt in 10-second bursts in the microwave, or melt it over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir until smooth, then take off the heat and stir in the puffed rice, coating them gently with the chocolate until they are all completely covered.

  • step 2

    Divide the mixture between nine cupcake or 12 fairy cake paper cases – it’s easier if you slide these into a muffin tin as it will help them hold their shape. Leave to set. If you want them to set faster, put in the fridge for 1 hr.

  • step 3

    Drizzle with a little melted chocolate and decorate with sweets, dried fruit or nuts while they are still wet enough to stick them on. Will keep in an airtight container for five days.

These worked perfectly for me. I was very careful not to overheat the chocolate mixture and can only guess this is where others have gone wrong.

We have found that doubling the rice crispy quantity works better - we keep all other ingredients the same then use 200g of rice crispies- these definitely set well after being put in the fridge for 15-20 mins. Top tip for an extra chocolatey treat - swap the crispiest for coco pops !

I didn’t add syrup and butter. It was good! My daughter enjoyed making it.

I really wish I’d read the comments before making these. They are far too sweet and sticky (baby brain didn’t twig as I was adding all the syrup in).

This recipe is sickly sweet.
