Cook: 10 min
Yield: approximately 40

Ingredients

  1. 4 (2-ounce) chocolate candy bars (recommended: Mars Bars or Milky Way)
  2. 1/2 stick unsalted butter
  3. 2 1/2 cups crunchy sweetened corn cereal (recommended: Cornflakes)
  4. Special equipment: approximately 40 mini muffin papers

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

I changed this recipe a bit but it’s gorgeous. Quite delicate and very silky to eat. Easy to make too.

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! :-

excellent recipe..i always do it when i need something fast and easy and sooooooo delicious and it never fails me..but be sure not to put too much corn flakes so as not to become hard and too crunchy.

These are little pieces of heaven!! Just made them to take to our Super Bowl
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!

These were the easiest no bake “cookies” ever, and they’re delicious. I used snicker bars, and rice crispies. I miss read the recipe, and bought the wrong cereal when i was at the store. I think the rice crispies may have solved the problem that others were having with them being to hard. I could eat mine right out of the fridge, and they didnt hurt my teeth. I would suggest this to any one who likes chocolate.

I make these yummy chocolate treats with a combination of candy bars (what was recommended and a king sized snickers). They turned out great! I can see that they may get a little hard – so I will bring them out of the fridge a little while before I serve them. I am so pleased with the result.

Next I am going to try the Milky Way Dark.
