I think everyone is familiar with Chocolate Rice Krispie Cakes, so here is a clever and sophisticate use of the recipe. Hand made chocolates a great Rice Krispie Recipe idea and perfect Christmas edible gift too. I would like to thank my friend Helen over at Living is a Great Adventure Blog for the idea behind these chocolates.
I used a typical chocolate Rice Krispies recipe.
You will need the following:-
chocolate moulds
90g Rice Krispies or Corn Flakes
100g dark chocolate
3 tbsp golden syrup
60g butter
- First you should crush up the Rice Krispies, I did this by putting them in a blender and pulsing.
- Melt the butter, chocolate and syrup together in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
- Then add this mixture to the Rice Krispies, mixing thoroughly.
You should then put the mixture back into the blender again, this will make for a much smoother mixture. Spoon this into your chocolate moulds, making sure you fill all the corners.
Tip – If you don’t have any moulds you could roll them into small balls.
Put them in the fridge or freezer to set. I used the freezer as I only had eight moulds, and needed to re-use them for the rest of the chocolate mixture. The second batch came out much better as I realised I had not ensured the chocolate was in every nook and cranny of the mould.
This was the first time I had used silicone moulds, which I received as my secret Santa present at work last year. I was surprised at how easily the chocolates popped out of the moulds.
I experimented (as you do) and added some edible glitter and tiny holly leaves and berry sprinkles to the bottom of some of the moulds.
The finished chocolates were gift wrapped and delivered to friends as Christmas presents.
Wishing a Happy Christmas to all my followers.

What fun, such a simple but effective chocolate truffle recipe. I bet these were very well received. They look really good especially with a dusting of glitter on them.
