Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 200g milk chocolate
- 75g Rice Krispies cereal
- Mini chocolate eggs or any small sweet for decoration (optional)
- Paper cupcake liners
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate: Break the milk chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl to prepare for melting.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate either using a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth, or use the double boiler method by placing the bowl over simmering water without touching it, stirring occasionally.
- Combine with Cereal: Once melted, remove the chocolate from heat and quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated.
- Form the Cakes: Spoon the chocolate-coated cereal mixture into paper cupcake liners placed in a cupcake tray for stability.
- Decorate: While the chocolate is still soft, press mini chocolate eggs or other small candies onto the top of each cake for an attractive decoration.
- Set the Cakes: Let the cakes set at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or refrigerate them for quicker setting.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once fully set, remove from liners and serve these classic chocolate rice crispy cakes to enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth before mixing to coat the cereal evenly.
- When using the double boiler method, avoid water contact with the chocolate to prevent seizing.
- Refrigerating the cakes shortens the setting time but may cause condensation if left too long outside refrigeration afterwards.
- Feel free to customize decorations with different candies or sprinkles.
- Use good quality milk chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
