Rice Krispie Cakes

Christ the things are bloody addictive. Was at a kid's birthday party on Saturday and I had to be escorted from the Kitchen...

Who'd have thought the combining of chocolate to krispie would have such devastatingly addictive effects.

Used to have normal cooking chocolate back in my date.
Went to little cousins birtday party a couple of years ago... couldn't believe they used whole bars of Cadburys instead!!
This seems to be the norm nowadays!!
Like fade2black, I too had to be dragged out of kitchen and be persuaded to drink cans of beer like all the other adults instead and leave the treats for the kids.

They're nice made from Cornflakes too.... I made that discovery after running out of Rice Crispies one time... I had a severe chocolate craving and all that was in the press goodies wise was a bar of cooking chocolate... and the cornflakes

My mum used make these chocolate rice krispie slices when I was younger (over 15 years ago now). Can't exactly remember what was in em, only that she used about 3 or 4 melted down Mars bars. Squashed the ingrediants down into a flat oven tin, and covered em in melted choccie. they were lovely.

If I find the recipe i'll post it up.

I made 40-odd of them for my nephew's birthday party yesterday. I refuse to use cooking chocolate on the grounds that it is one step up the food chain from sh*te, so have been using Tesco's Belgian Milk & Plain choc instead - 1 bar milk & 1 bar plain mixed together makes about 45 RC cakes.

Kids loved them - eldest nephew hid them & was using them as bribes!!!!

aye cooking chocolate ... sometimes called bakers chocolate too i think, very dark and bitter just not nice i just use a bag of nestle milk chocolate chips and melt it all down and in with the rice krispies

whiskeyman

actually, I just remembered I made some of these for a house party last year.
I used cadburys chocolate, and mixed in marshmallows, a few cadburys caramel bars (for gooeyness) and a few bags malteasers, to mix it up a bit.


They went in a flash!

Well if it isn't Van Wilder...

Put some rasins and peanuts in the mix too.

I made "mars bar cake" last week. The secret to really rich taste is to add golden syrup with the mars bars and rice krispies and when hard cover in choclate Mmmm

It is fake chocolate, forget the ingredients but it is missing something. I used to eat bars of it when I was young since I was penniless and preferred quantity over quality. It is like those cheap easter eggs you get that are "chocolate flavoured", AFAIK there is an actual legal definition for chocolate, i.e. it must have certain % of different ingredients and cooking chocolate is not "real chocolate".

It is really chocolate flavoured blocks of sugar, intended for use in icing for cakes mostly.

Tesco do an expensive version which is pretty nice on its own, it costs more than their "value chocolate" which is pretty good too.

value choc rocks for cooking, the best white choc ive found for cooking really

nicer with corn flakes though
