Today I’m sharing with you my Mini Egg Chocolate Rice Crispy Cake!
With Mother’s Day and Easter fast approaching I thought it would be good to come up with something that kids can easily make which not only tastes great but looks fab too!
I was wondering around my local supermarket when the Rice Krispies caught my eye and they brought back memories of a chocolate crispy cake my mum used to buy for me as a kid.
The supermarket version was a very shallow affair so I thought that it would be fun to make a deep Mini Egg Chocolate Rice Crispy Cake.
I did briefly think of adding marshmallows but then my vegetarian daughter reminded me that she wouldn’t be able to eat said cake if I used them, so I left them out.
I wasn’t sure if this cake would cut well or fracture but nothing ventured, nothing gained is my motto in the kitchen.
I needn’t have worried however as bar the odd crumb it cut really well with a sharp knife.
I used a ratio of 2 to 1 dark chocolate to milk chocolate which worked really well but if you wanted to make this Mini Egg Chocolate Rice Krispie Cake suitable for vegans you could use all dark chocolate, vegan spread and dark chocolate mini eggs to decorate.
To say my daughter and hubby were champing at the bit to have a slice of my Mini Egg Chocolate Crispy Cake is an understatement. While I was taking the shots I just kept hearing “haven’t you finished yet?”. Finally it was time to put the kettle on and tuck in – both hubby and daughter gave it a big thumbs up. My son came home from university last night and he also loved it, yes we did leave him a slice!
I do hope you or your kids make my Mini Egg Chocolate Rice Crispy cake which would also be great at a kids’ birthday party.
