Dark Chocolate Rice Crispy Cakes

Ingredients

These delicious dark chocolate rice crispy cakes are simple to make and require just a few ingredients. All you need is 3 tablespoons of butter, 250 grams of dark chocolate, 80 grams of mini marshmallows, and 120g of Rice Krispies cereal. To make it even more decadent, you can add a handful of chopped nuts like hazelnuts, almonds, or walnuts.

Instructions

Begin by melting the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the dark chocolate, stirring continuously until it has completely melted. Next, add the mini marshmallows and stir until they have melted completely. Finally, add the Rice Krispies cereal and the chopped nuts and stir until everything is combined.

Take the mixture off the heat and spoon it into 12 small paper cases, about 1 tablespoon of mixture per case. Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until the rice crispy cakes have set. Serve and enjoy!

Nutrition

Tips and Variations

If you’re looking for a healthier version, you can use a dark chocolate with a higher cocoa content (at least 70%). This will reduce the sugar content and make the cakes slightly less sweet. You can also try replacing the butter with coconut oil, which will give the cakes a subtle coconut flavour.

For added indulgence, you can top the cakes with melted dark chocolate, chopped nuts, or even freeze-dried fruit. You can also switch up the flavour by using white chocolate instead of dark chocolate, or using a different cereal like Cheerios. The possibilities are endless!
