Easter mini eggs rice crispy cakes method!
there is only a few short steps to follow to make this amazing cake, and trust me, they are worth it! My mouth literally waters just thinking of this delicious recipe!
Step 1
Start off by putting a pot of water (make sure the pot is only filled a quarter of the way) onto boil. Place a glass bowl on top of the pot, making it stay up by the handles, and make sure the water is NOT touching the bottom of the glass bowl. Break half of the amount of chocolate you are using into half. Once your glass dish has heat up a bit, pop your chocolate in and stir it continuedly until there is no lumps or bumps, and your chocolate is smooth and glossy!
Step 2 (optional)
This step is completely up to you if you want your cakes to be stringy. If you wish, weigh out about 20-50g of marshmallows and add them into your smooth melted chocolate , and again mix then constantly until they melt in, making your chocolate stringy!
Step 3
next grab one of your bags of mini eggs. Crush half with a rolling pin, leaving the other half whole. Pour the crushed mini eggs into the melted chocolate, and then in a large bowl, combine your weighed our rice crispy’s, your melted chocolate with mini eggs, and mix until all of the rice crispy’s are covered in chocolate!
Step 4
Cover a baking tray with butter and then spread your chocolate easter rice crispy’s over, around the thickness of a £1 coin. Pop this in the fridge for about 20 minutes, and in the mean time, melt the other half off your chocolate. Once your crispy’s have set, pour the new melted chocolate over the top of your fridge bake. Pop over your easter mini eggs, I recommend putting 2 every few cm, and then pop it back in the fridge for 30 minutes until chocolate has set!
Slice it up, and your easter sweet treat is ready! Enjoy!
