The Perfect Rice Crispy Cake ??

I recently made rice crispy cakes, with the just bog standard rice crispys (tesco own brand) and chocolate (again tesco own brand)

There was something missing, although, I am not sure what :(

I have searched on the t'interweb, and on MSE, and I am no further forward to find the perfect recipe :(

So now I ask what does the perfect rice crispy cake recipe include ??

Chocolate ?
Mars Bar ?
Marshmallow ?
Golden syrup ??

Or something else completely ??:o

And in what quantity are these perfect ingredients in ??;)


I look forward to hearing your take, on the perfect rice crispy cake

  • For, me, they are only perfect if it's Cadbury or Galaxy Choc!!
  • I am really interested in finding this out too. Nothing like sticky chewy crispy cakes, I can't find any attraction with the ones that are solid chocolate!
    It's nice to be nutty but's more important to be nice

    Ok, i make alot of crispie cakes. here are the best 2 recipies.

    For individual cakes;
    55g butter
    4 tbs syrup
    100g milk choc
    70g cornflakes/crispies

    melt butter, syrup and choc in a bowl over hot water, mix in the crispies and put into cake cases.


    For a traybake squares type;
    125g marshmallows
    125g butter
    125g toffees (i use the golden pennies from the quality street tubs as we dont like toffees)
    125g crispies

    melt marshmallows, butter & toffees in a pan until all combined together, add in crispies then spread on to a tray or tin. When cool i melt some choc and spread it over the top. Then cut into squares.

    I find it best not to add extra crispies cos we like em sticky and gooey and there is nothing worse than a half coated crispie cake!
