Ingredients
- 4 (2-ounce) chocolate candy bars (recommended: Mars Bars or Milky Way)
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 cups crunchy sweetened corn cereal (recommended: Cornflakes)
- Special equipment: approximately 40 mini muffin papers
Instructions
- Break the candy bars into bits and drop them into a saucepan. Add the butter and melt, over lowish heat, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula. When everything is melted (the nougat-like layer takes the longest to go), tip in the cereal and turn them, with your rubber spatula, in the chocolate mixture until they are all pretty well coated.
- Fill the mini muffin papers with the mixture and put in the refrigerator, on a small sheet pan or tray, for at least 1 hour.

Reviews
I used 2 x 4 oz Cadbury Caramello bars but I also made it again to test the butter part and used something similar, so anything with caramel and chocolate would be good.
I misread the butter part and used ONE stick of butter – aka 1/2 cup. I stirred the caramel/choc/butter with a whisk until it almost was ‘gooey’ looking. Then threw in the rice crispies and stirred till they were well coated.
I used 2 cups of rice bubbles or crispies and I got 30 mini cup cakes out of them. I used about a teas per cup, using two teas to get the gooey mix into the cups. So yummy, I got orders for them the first week I made them! :-
Party, but after tasting them, I am hesitating……really want to eat them all myself!
Used rice krispies instead of corn flakes because we prefer them. I got 34 pieces and used the paper mini’s, but did NOT refrigerate. They set up just fine at room temperature and come right off the paper. Now I have to look at them for several more hours & try not to be tempted!
Next I am going to try the Milky Way Dark.
