Equipment
Ingredients
- 100 g rice krispies/snaps (£0.90/3)=(£0.30)
- 150 g peanut butter, runny (£1.50/2)=(£0.75)
- 200 g melted milk chocolate (milk or dark chocolate) (£1.00)
Cupboard Essentials
- 6 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Line a rectangular dish with some cling film. I used a 10 inch by 7 inch glass dish or for thicker slices use an 8 inch by 6 inch dish.
- Add the honey and peanut butter into a large microwavable bowl. Place in the microwave for 15 seconds on a medium heat to loosen and then mix together.
- To that, pour the rice crispies into the bowl and mix together until all is combined.
- Then pour the mixture into the lined dish and spread out evenly. Pack in tightly by adding some pressure by pressing firmly using a solid object (I used a glass measuring jug) into the dish.
- Heat the chocolate in a glass bowl placed over boiling water until melted. Pour the melted chocolate into the dish and spread using a spatula.
- Place in the fridge for a couple of hours, or if you are in a rush place in the freezer for 1 hour and the crispy treats are ready to eat. Slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Press the rice crispy mix firmly into the dish. I used a glass measuring jug, but any heavy object will do! This will help ensure that the treats hold together well and are easy to cut.
- Careful when melting the chocolate as you don’t want it to burn. I used a glass bowl over boiling water but you can use the microwave but only use short amounts of time ie 15 second intervals, to check on the chocolate.
- Allow the chocolate topping to cool in the fridge for at least an hour/preferably 2, before cutting them into squares. This will make the krispie rice treats easier to handle and slice into squares/rectangles.
