Difficulty
Time 15 minutes (plus 1-2 hours cooling time)
Servings 16
- Saucepan
- Large Bowl
- Microwaveable Bowl / Jug
- 9"x9" Tin
- Spatula
- Parchment Paper
- Cake Skewer or Butter Knife (for the decorative swirls)
- For the Krispie Layer
- 200g White Marshmallows
- 100g Butter
- 200g Rice Krispies
- For the Topping and Decoration
- 300g Milk Chocolate
- 100g White Chocolate
- 1 bag of Colin the Caterpillar Mini Colin Faces
- One 38g Tube of Smarties
- 25g Mini Marshmallows
- For the Krispie Layer
- Line a 9"x9" baking tin.
- Gently melt the butter and marshmallows 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.
- 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!).
- 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
- In seperate microwave proof bowls/jugs microwave the milk and white chocolate in 10-20 second bursts until smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool for a couple of minutes then pour the milk chocolate on top of the rice krispie layer. Then add dollops of white chocolate on top of the milk chocolate and use a cake skewer or butter knife to swirl a pretty pattern! Smooth out to form an even surface (giving the tin a little shake on a flat surface also helps!)
- Arrange the Colin Faces, Smarties, and mini marshmallows as decoration. Gently press them down to help them stick to the chocolate!
- Chill in the fridge until fully set before cutting in to pieces (this should take 1-2 hours). Enjoy!
- - Store your Colin the Caterpillar 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.
