Hello everyone!
I hope you are all still keeping safe and well. I am at home today, and was wondering what on earth to put on the blog... So I did a quick Google and discovered that 7th July is Chocolate Day! Yes, really! Now, you may be thinking that every day is Chocolate Day - and you would be right - but today we have a genuine excuse to indulge.
So, with that in mind, here's a delicious chocolate-based recipe for you to try. You will need an adult to help you because you will need to melt the chocolate.
Chocolate Rice Krispie Cakes
You will need:
150g chocolate, broken into squares (I like a mixture of plain and milk chocolate, but it doesn't really matter - it's all good!)
100g butter
4 tablespoons golden syrup
100g Rice Krispies
12 paper fairy cake cases
To decorate:
50g melted chocolate, plus any decorations you might want to use - mini marshmallows, sprinkles, Smarties, chocolate drops etc
Method:
1. Put the chocolate, butter and syrup into a heatproof bowl.
2. You can either melt them together over a pan of simmering water on the hob, or melt it in the microwave (do this in short 20 second bursts, stirring in between, otherwise the mixture might burn). You must ask an adult to help with this.
3. Stir the melted mixture together until it is smooth, and then mix in the Rice Krispies until they are completely covered with the chocolate mixture.
4. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases and decorate each cake as you like - drizzle the cakes with melted chocolate and add your chosen decorations. Do this quickly before the chocolate starts to cool and set, otherwise the decorations won't stick properly.
5. Pop the cakes into the fridge for about an hour to cool completely, and then serve.
6. Apparently these will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight tin, but to be honest I've never met anyone who can resist them for that long.
Have a wonderful day!
Best wishes
Mrs Vaqueiro
