What kind of chocolate should I use?

I use half and half dark (semi-sweet) chocolate and milk chocolate for this recipe as I like a slightly less sweet taste

Use all dark chocolate or all milk chocolate if that is what you prefer. Children often prefer milk chocolate

Rice Krispies

Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the chocolate

Weigh the rice krispies cereal, then add it to the melted chocolate and stir until all the rice kristpies are covered in chocolate.

  1. I used to melt a Cadburys Creme Egg and use this to make my crispies!! And I have to make these for my Random Recipes of all things!! Yours look so sweet especially with the little eggs nested in there. Very sweet. Happy Easter xx

  2. Really pretty presentation. I love simple little nests like this – I usually use shredded wheat to make them more nest-like (but no good for your guest!). I'm sure your guest will be really pleased that you've catered for them!

  3. Goodness, that really does take me back. Last time I had those I think I was at least 35 years younger!

    And they were nothing like as pretty as your version Janice

  4. A true Easter classic- the happinness and joy we'd have as kids (and erm big kids- I made these last year too!) making these- and tucking into them of course! Thank you ever so much for entering these into TTT!

  5. Oh my not had these in years, takes me back to being a young girl in the kitchen and mainly eating most of the mixture before had a chance to set!

  6. Oh how your picture has brought a smile to my face, I haven't had a rice crispie treats since I was wee. Lovely post.

  7. I LOVE chocolate Crispies and always have done. I used to make them with Hannah when she was little and scoff most of them! These are a PERFECT Easter Tea Time Treat thanks Janice, and I am smiling from ear to ear now, such lovely food memories! Karen Happy Easter too….
