Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Golden syrup
  • 80 g Salted butter
  • 180 g Chocolate Cut into chunks or use chips
  • 120 g Rice pop cereal

Instructions

  • Place the golden syrup, butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt over a pan with a few centimetre of simmering water in it. Stir it frequently and keep the heat low so it doesn’t split.
  • When everything has melted together, stir in the rice pops until well coated.
  • Split the mixture between 12 cupcake cases and place in the fridge for an hour or so until set.

Notes

Butter: I use salted butter, which adds a delicious saltiness to the cakes, but you can use unsalted if you prefer. You could even add a little extra pinch of salt for a slightly more grown up taste!
Chocolate: You can use milk or dark chocolate, or a combination of the two. Cut it up into chunks before you start to melt it, or use choc chips.
Quantity: The amount of mixture in this recipe makes 12 nice piled up cupcake cases, but you could use muffin cases if you wanted them even bigger, it would just make a few less.
Storing: The cakes will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
