Recipe for rice crispy traybake?

Options
DS is off to Scout camp this weekend. I've offered to bake him something to take to share. At the ripe old age of 12 :eek: he's asked for rice crispy buns, but made in a tin and cut into squares. Apparently, bun cases aren't cool :confused:

My crispy buns are yummy, but tend not to hold together well (hence the bun case).

I've searched but can't find such a recipe. Can anyone help?

Thank you all! Penny. x

  • Make it with melted mars bars instead of chocolate

  • I often use melted mars bars/asda mightys/aldi titans - the caramel and nougat helps it all stick together!

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    white choc layer
    2oz butter
    1 tbl sp golden syrup
    5 1/2 oz white choc
    1 3/4 oz rice crispies

    plain/ milk choc layer
    2 oz butter
    2 tbl sp golden syrup
    4 1/2 oz choc
    2 3/4 oz rice crispies

    method
    grease a 8 inch square cake tin and line with baking paper
    to make white layer
    melt the white choc, butter and g/s over a pan of simmering water, remove from heat when all melted then add cereal, press into prepared tin and smooth the surface
    do the same for the plain choc layer
    chill in the fridge until hardened
    lift out of tin and using a sharp knife cut into pieces

    i usualy use margerine for this or block stork and it works just as well

    Marshmallows are a good substitute for some of the butter/marg and sugar. They are v good binding material when melted! (And cut some of the fat - Not an issue for most 12 yr old boys, I grant you!)

    I use 4 oz butter, 4 oz toffee and 4 oz marshmallows melted together in a bowl over hot water. Then add 4-6 oz rice crispies.
