Rainy Saturday afternoon Rice Krispie cakes

12/5/2013

Today it is raining. Chris is out for the day so Eloise and I have been entertaining ourselves with our latest eBay purchase (The Little Mermaid DVD), napping (Eloise), laundry (me) and baking. Well not quite baking. More melting, mixing and refrigerating. I don't remember making these as a child but I remember eating them!

Baking with Eloise is still a challenge but she is getting better and enjoys filling up the cases now. The only problem is i have to make double as she eats so much along the way! Luckily her wares only get eaten by the family...

I really like fridge cakes. One of my favourite is a mixture of crushed digestive biscuits, melted butter, golden syrup, melted chocolate and a good slug of Cointreau. Mix the lot together, spread in a baking tray lined with cling film and cover well. Freeze (yes, freeze) chop up into wedges and enjoy.

Top tips for fridge cakes:
  1. Cool your melted chocolate before adding your krispies/cornflakes/biscuits or they will go soft.
  2. If using cake cases place them in a muffin tin before spooning in your mixture to support the sides and stop them collapsing. Then refridgerate in the tin. (As pictured above)
  3. If adding honey or syrup to your cake set in the freezer as the fridge won't be sufficient.

Eloise, you've got a little bit of chocolate on your face...
And remember to leave enough mixture for spoon licking at the end!

Can't wait to enjoy these together tomorrow. Perhaps we may even get enough sun to sit in the garden (not holding my breath!)
