Chocolate Crispy Cakes!

So, earlier I made some chocolate crispy cakes to take to the show, for the cast to nibble on when running back and forth for costume changes. They were Easter ones, I went to Jim's British supermarket here in Saint-Genis to get the Cadbury's mini eggs. I know it's a little late for Easter, but hey, we spent all our time in the theatre then!

For no particular reason, I took some pictures, as I was making them I was thinking about what I could write in a blog post. I had looked up some recipes for this, to get an idea of quantities and decided to write up how I did mine!


I used normal chocolate, 150g in a glass bowl and shoved in the microwave for 2 minutes before pouring rice krispies over and stirring them in until they were all covered, and just kept adding more in small amounts - till it looked about right. Then spooned it all out into cases, adding 2 eggs as I went.

I decided I didn't have that many, so put the first lot in the freezer and made a second batch. Ran out of mini eggs, so resorted to the ones I had left over that Mum gave me when I was last home. And again, left them in the freezer as I thought they wouldn't harden up enough in the fridge for a short amount of time.

Then realised they were too solid so left them all out on the top to soften them up a bit before throwing them into boxes and running out to go to the theatre!

The final number I made...

Had some lovely thank-yous, especially from the ladies chorus who had them, so I'm really glad I did make them. Took me about an hour in total, or less, I don't really know. Was fun, and as I still have chocolate left and rice krispies I might make some more cakes for my friends at work, because, why not eh?

Just going to add some more Chess pics onto facebook. We have the after-show party tomorrow too, and after that, I hope to stay in touch with some of them. More trips (as last Tuesday) to the pub and karaoke bar are needed!
