Rice Krispies Cakes

The sun is shining and after a busy hot day out yesturday at a theme park, today we are home playing, baking and kind of having a quiet one. Our baking adventure today has been a sticky one this morning making these old school favourites, Rice Krispies cakes.

When you google Rice Krispies cakes you can find various recipes for Rice Krispies cakes, some with golden syrup and others using marshmallows. Being vegetarian and not having suitable marshmallows at home and the boys will definitely be sharing these we have made ours using golden syrup.

Making these goodies has been fun with the boys and they are made in no time at all with a little time to set in the fridge. You will only need a few ingredients and we made ours tray bake style so was able to cut into smaller squares for the boys.

Find the recipe below for these old school treats and enjoy them today. Let us know how to you get on and what you think of the recipe.

Enjoy!.
