Easy rice krispie cakes are such a traditional bake for any occasion in a family home. They’re actually a no-bake treat – just like rocky road or chocolate tiffin, so easy to make and something that everyone seems to love. I’ve never met anyone that doesn’t enjoy a rice krispie treat.

We have always made rice crispy cakes and the children love them but, they enjoy them even more when we make seasonal versions, tweaking the classic recipe to suit the time of year – or whatever chocolate is on offer at the time! It’s such a simple tray bake and one the children absolutely love – cut into wonderful crispy squares!

Can you use full size Cadbury Creme Eggs?

For Easter this year the children asked if we could make Creme Egg rice krispie treats but I thought that normal Creme Eggs would be too big and instead we chose to use Mini Cadbury Creme Eggs to make these sweet treats.

The Mini Creme Eggs are easy to halve and we found adding a layer to the bottom of the dish before pouring in the chocolate rice krispie mix worked better than trying to mix the Creme Eggs into mixture – the egg filling ended up coming out of the eggs or, if we left the eggs whole the structure of the cakes wasn’t as firm.

Can you vary this recipe?

This is how we make our super easy rice krispy treats but I know a lot of people have their own way of making crispy rice treats. You can add a little golden syrup, maple syrup or even mini marshmallows if you want to. It’s a really nice recipe for playing around with and using what you have in the cupboard.

These chocolate rice krispies treats keep well in an airtight container for a few days – if they last that long, especially with the kids around! Rice Crispy treats are one of our favourite things to make, so simple and the kids love getting involved too. They’re great at any time of the year and the mix of crispy rice cereal and chocolate is something everyone loves.
