How To Make Crispy Cakes With Coco Pops

I don't care how old you are, Rice Krispie treats are ALWAYS good! And although I'm not always a chocolate eater, I'll never say no to a bowl of Coco Pops.

Then I came across these fantastic treats at our local store (the same store that make fantastic Rocky Road bars which inspired my Halloween version). They make Rice Krispie treats covered with a layer of white chocolate. They also do a Coco Pop version made with Mars Bars. Yes please! MORE! GIVE ME MORE!

I remember when I first saw them (followed by quickly purchasing & eating them!) I thought they'd be quite cute with other coloured chocolate patterns drizzled on top, for instance, hearts or silly cute messages for Valentine's Day.

Chocolate Rice Krispies (no Butter!)

And so, that's exactly what I decided to do. Whether it's for your kid's lunchbox or something simple for your Other Half, you can't go wrong with Treats for your Sweets.

I took it one step further and went down to the South African store to buy a box of Kellogg's Strawberry Pops (as they don't have that cereal here in Ireland) and gave them the same treatment as the Rice Krispie treats but made them into hearts instead. Awwwww, cuuuuuute! :P

If you can't get Strawberry Pops but still want to have the cute pink Krispie treats, you could always add food colouring to the melted marshmallow, it doesn't even have to be pink.

They're easy to make, although rather sticky, and taste fantastic, they also don't cost an arm and a leg, so if you're like my hubby who doesn't enjoy the notion of the Hallmark enforced spend-a-fortune-for-Valentine's-cause-we-say-so, these are a win. Something simple to say I love you but without the inflated price tag, 'cause really, do you actually need another You're my one and only love of my life want to be with you forever and ever and ever mug in your cupboard? :P

Best Coco Pops Cakes

Tasty Tip 1: you can decorate your coco pop cakes with sprinkles and or nuts or marshmallows. Simply stir this ingredient in before adding the copha or for marshmallows after (to minimise them melting).

The photos below are the step by step instructions to make the recipe. We start by lining a 12 hole muffin tin.

Top Tip 2: Get the kid's to sift the icing sugar directly into the bowl, using a colander with a fine weave (larger and easier than other sifting methods).

Tasty Tip 2: The jug will be very hot after it has been in the microwave for 4-5 mins. Use an oven mit or tea towel as you grab the handle.

Make this into a slice using a square tin and top with a layer of melted chocolate for a no bake slice version of the same.

Yes, you can. I recommend using a heat proof jug to melt the copha in the microwave. For a standard 250 gram block of copha, it will take 4- 5 minutes to melt at high heat.
