Rice Crispies Cakes Recipes

BIRTHDAY CAKE CRISPY RICE TREATS

Steps:

• For the "cake": Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Add the cereal and sprinkles, and stir with a rubber spatula, scraping up from the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Transfer the cereal to the prepared cake pan, and pat it down into an even layer. Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate.
• For the frosting: Heat the marshmallows and butter in small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until completely melted. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the confectioners' sugar.
• Spread the frosting over the top of the "cake" in an even layer. Decorate with sprinkles. Cut into wedges, and serve. (The frosted "cake" can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.)

RICE KRISPIE CAKES

Steps:

• Break the chocolate into squares and put in a microwavable bowl.
• Heat the chocolate until it has all melted 1 min or 45 seconds, depending on the microwave.
• Mix the Rice Krispies into the chocolate, stirring until Krispies are covered.
• Using a teaspoon spoon the mixture into cake cases.
• Top with sprinkles, or you could break up a Flake for decoration or for Easter use Mini Eggs.
• Leave to set.

MARSHMALLOW CRISPY CAKES

Steps:

• Butter a 34 x 24 x 5cm deep baking tray and line with baking parchment. Melt the butter and vanilla in a large saucepan over a low heat, then add the marshmallows and cook gently, stirring occasionally until everything is melted, smooth and glossy.
• Remove from the heat and mix in the rice cereal and 150g of the white chocolate chunks. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated, then tip into the baking tray and press into the corners using slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking to you. Leave to cool for 1 hr until set.
• Melt the remaining 50g white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the crispy cakes and sprinkle over the mini marshmallows, if using. Leave to set, then cut into 12 squares. Cut the squares in half diagonally to serve. Will keep in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

RICE KRISPIES TREATS® CAKE

Steps:

• Microwave 3 Tbsp. butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 45 sec. or until melted. Add 1 pkg. marshmallows; toss to coat. Microwave 1-1/2 min. or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 45 sec.
• Add 6 cups cereal; mix well. Press onto bottom of 8-inch round pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Repeat in separate 8-inch round pan with remaining ingredients. Cool completely.
• Remove cereal mixtures from pans. Decorate with frosting and sprinkles as shown in photo.

RICE CAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, gently mix everything except the butter. Over medium-high heat, heat the butter in a large frying pan until it is foaming. (A nonstick pan is good for this purpose but cast iron can work well, too.)
• Working in batches if necessary, and adding more butter as needed, use a large spoon or measuring cup to place a scoop of the rice mixture in the pan. Press down with the back of a spatula to form a patty. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the bottom. Gently flip patty and cook another 3 minutes or until golden. Keep warm on a paper-towel-covered plate or pan in a warm oven.

CHOCOLATE RICE KRISPIE CAKES

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl with the butter and golden syrup and gently melt in 10-second bursts in the microwave, or melt it over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir until smooth, then take off the heat and stir in the rice pops, coating them gently with the chocolate until they are all completely covered.
• Divide the mixture between nine cupcake or 12 fairy cake paper cases - it's easier if you slide these into a muffin tin as it will help them hold their shape. Leave to set. If you want them to set faster, put in the fridge for 1 hr.
• Drizzle with a little melted chocolate and decorate with sweets, dried fruit or nuts while they are still wet enough to stick them on. Will keep in an airtight container for five days.
