Mini Egg Chocolate Rice Crispy Cake is so simple yet so delicious. Striking and yet easy enough for a child to make. It’s great for Easter, Mother’s Day, or a Birthday party!
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 that tastes great and looks fab too!
I was wandering 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.
However, I needn’t have worried as bar for the odd crumb it cut well with a sharp knife.
I used a ratio of 2 to 1 dark chocolate to milk chocolate which worked well. However, if you wanted to make this 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 my husband 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 hope you or your kids make my Mini Egg Chocolate Rice Crispy cake which would also be great at a kids’ birthday party.

Emma @ Supper in the Suburbs
I do love a rice krispie cake both big and small! I have a recipe for something simillar but alas it’s not veggie as your daughter quite rightly pointed out! Looks delish 🙂
Camilla
Thanks Emma, yes it was a good job she was off sick the day I made it as I ran the idea past her first and had just rung hubby to pick up some Marshmallows so then had to cancel them LOL:-)
Dannii
What a great idea for a really easy easter cake to make. Even kids to get involved with the stirring too.

Thank you Emily, it won’t take you long but it tastes so good I want to make another one very soon-)
Nico @ yumsome
I haven’t had rice krispie cake for years and years – probably not since my 32 year old son was a child! Now that I’m a gran, I guess I have the perfect excuse to get making them again (with the help of little hands, of course)!
I love that your big cake combines a bit of grown-upness with the childish fun of the school favourite! Brilliant! xx
Camilla
Thank you Nico, I do love bringing in tastes from my childhood and reinventing them:-)
Heidi Roberts
What a cute idea – think I will ask the grandsons if they want to make it in the holidays!
Camilla
Thanks Heidi, I’m sure they’d love it-)
Dom
So pretty and so simple yet such a statement… I am making this this easter!
Camilla
Thank you Dom, it is a pretty incredible return for so little effort-)
Lucy
I love this idea and it makes a lovely yet simple to make. Entire piece for the Easter table! My girls would love to make this with me and then I expect they would devour it very easily too!
Camilla
Thanks Lucy, yes I think we’ll be making this a lot as so easy and delicious, no faffing with cake cases:-)
Corina Blum
I think making it into a cake form is a brilliant idea to make it a little more sophisticated than the ones we often see just dolloped into cupcake cases. It looks really good and I like the idea of adding a few marshmallows too!
Camilla
Thank you Corina, yes it makes it more of an occasion and really lovely to bite into. Yes if you don’t have a vegetarian in your family a few marshmallows would make a nice change too-)
