Day 173 - June 22nd

Whilst away with the school Lara tried some Rice Krispie Bars that she really liked and when she came home she asked if we could make some. Unsure exactly what they were made of I searched the Internet and found a recipe on Allrecipes.co.uk . We made the bars but apparently they didn't taste the same as those Lara had previously eaten. Oh well, they tasted good anyway and we have a good excuse to try a different recipe another day. Here's the recipe we used today:

Chewy Rice Krispies Bars

Ingredients 

·         200g marshmallows

·         80g butter

·         140g puffed rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies

Directions

·         Line a swiss roll tin with baking parchment.

·         Place puffed rice into a large bowl.

·         Melt marshmallows and butter in microwave using low heat, using 30 second bursts. Stir between each burst.

·         The mix should appear smooth and creamy. (The butter may appear separated from the marshmallows, but will combine once added to puffed rice).

·         Pour the mix onto the puffed rice. Mix well until the rice is evenly coated.

·         Tip into tin and press down with the back of a metal spoon, smooth over so it is flat.

·         Cool in the fridge for 1 hour or until set, then lift out of tray and remove baking parchment.

·         Cut into approximately 24 bars or smaller.
