Who said Krispie cakes are only for children’s parties? Grown-ups prepare to be blown away with these simple Krispie treats for a little old school nostalgia
Ingredients
125g peanut butter
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp chia seeds
60g coconut oil
2 tbsp golden syrup
160g chocolate puffed rice (or use plain puffed rice)
To top
Handful of small chocolate chips
Icing drizzle (mix a large spoon of icing sugar with a little hot water until smooth - thick and runny will achieve the best results)
Method
Line a brownie tin with baking paper
Melt all of the above in a small saucepan until warm and combined
Leave to one side for 5 minutes to cool and for the chia seeds to have some time to become soft and gooey
Pour the syrup over the puffed rice and carefully mix until all the puffed rice is combined. You may choose to use lass puffed rice for a stickier Krispie cake.
Pour the Krispie cake mixture into the brownie tin and carefully press down until all of the puffed rice is neatly compact into the tin, making it more stable.
Top with choc chips and softy press them down using the back a spoon
Leave in the fridge to chill for about an hour
Once set you have the option to drizzle with icing, leaving it to set for 10 minutes or so
Enjoy with a nice latte
If you do make this then I hope you love it
