Turn classic chocolate crispy cakes into a fun Christmas treat for kids by adding simple reindeer faces to make these easy Rudolf reindeer crispy cakes!
After sharing several healthy Christmas recipes with you recently, today I have a fun Christmas treat recipe to share with you instead - Rudolf the reindeer chocolate crispy cakes!
Be sure to check out my recipe video so you can see just how easy these are to make!
You can't beat a chocolate crispy cake - every child should have the chance to make these yummy treats at some point in their childhood! We've given the classic chocolate treat a festive upgrade by adding a simple reindeer faces to turn them into Rudolf.
To save time and keep things easy we melted our chocolate in the microwave, but you can also use the double boiler method on the stove top if you prefer - just pop the ingredients in a heat-safe glass bowl, place over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until melted.
Easy Rudolf Reindeer Chocolate Crispy Cakes
Ingredients (makes 12):
- 150g dark chocolate
- 50g butter
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 120g rice crispy cereal
To decorate:
- 24 pretzels
- 24 edible candy eyeballs
- 12 red smarties
Method:
Line a 12 hole muffin tin with muffin cases.
Break the chocolate into chunks and place in a large microwave safe bowl.
Add the butter and honey to the bowl, then pop it into the microwave and heat in short bursts of around 30 seconds, stirring in between, until the chocolate has melted. Be careful not to overheat.
Stir well to completely combine the ingredients, then add the rice crispy cereal to the bowl.
Carefully mix together until the cereal is completely coated in the chocolate mixture.
Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, dividing equally between the 12 cases.
Working quickly, decorate each crispy cake with 2 pretzels, 2 edible candy eyeballs and a red smartie, to make reindeer antlers, eyes and nose.
Once decorated, pop the crispy cakes in the fridge to chill for an hour or so until set.
Enjoy!
