Crispy M&M Krispie Treats

Equipment

• Saucepan
• Large Bowl
• Microwaveable Bowl / Jug
• 9"x9" Tin
• Spatula
• Parchment Paper

Ingredients

• For the Krispie Layer
• 200g White Marshmallows
• 150g Butter
• 175g Rice Krispies
• 150g Milk Chocolate
• For the Topping and Decoration
• 350g Milk Chocolate
• 200-300g Crispy M&Ms (I used one 'more to share' pouch, which is 246g)

Method

• For the Krispie Layer

1. Line a 9"x9" baking tin.
2. Gently melt the butter, marshmallows, and chocolate in a saucepan on a low-medium heat. Keep the saucepan on the heat and keep stirring until the mixture has formed a smooth sticky paste. Be patient, as this will take a few minutes.
3. Once smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the rice krispies until they're evenly covered - work quickly as it'll begin to harden fast! (You can either add the rice krispies to the saucepan or pour the marshmallow mixture on top of the rice krispies, either works!).
4. Once fully combined press your krispie layer in to the baking tin (I use the back of a spoon or a spatula for this as it's really sticky!).

• For Topping and Decoration

1. Microwave the milk chocolate in 10-20 second bursts in a microwave proof bowl/jug until smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool for a couple of minutes then pour on top of the rice krispie layer. Smooth out to form an even surface (giving the tin a little shake on a flat surface also helps!).
2. Sprinkle the Crispy M&Ms on top and gently press them down to help them stick to the chocolate.
3. Chill in the fridge until fully set before cutting in to pieces (this should take 1-2 hours). Enjoy!

Notes

• - Store your Crispy M&M Krispie Treats in the fridge where they will last for approx 7 days.
• - More or less chocolate can be added to the topping depending on your desired thickness.
• - The chocolate in the krispie layer is optional, you can leave it out if you prefer!
