How to Make Easter Chocolate Rice Krispie Squares

INGREDIENTS

• 120 g Dairy free butter
• 350 g Dairy free chocolate 
• 1 Tbsp Golden Syrup + 2 Tbsp Dairy Free Butter
• 150 g Marshmallows
• 150 g Rice Krispies
• 1 packet Dairy free chocolate eggs

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Tin

Line an 8-inch square baking tin with baking paper. This will make it easier to remove the treats once they are set.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate Mixture

In a large saucepan, add the butter, 150g of chocolate, and marshmallows. Heat on low to medium, stirring continuously, until everything melts together into a smooth, glossy mixture.

Step 3: Coat the Rice Krispies

Pour the Rice Krispies into a large mixing bowl. Then, carefully pour the melted chocolate and marshmallow mixture over them. Stir well until all the cereal is fully coated.

Step 4: Press Into the Baking Tin

Transfer the mixture to the lined baking tray and press it down firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon. This helps create an even layer. Place in the fridge for 1 hour to set.

Step 5: Add the Chocolate Topping

Melt the remaining 200g of chocolate, mix in the golden syrup and butter until combined, then pour it over the set Rice Krispie mixture, smoothing it out evenly. While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle over your mini eggs (or allergy-friendly alternative - smash them up a little to get some good texture).

Step 6: Chill & Serve

Return to the fridge for a couple of hours to fully set. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy!
