CRISPY BARS

Hi  Here's my first recipe!  I thought I would keep it simple to begin with so I have chosen a recipe with only 4 ingredients (with an optional 5th) and you need the same amount of each ingredient so you can make more or less of this recipe really easily.  This recipe comes from 'The Dairy Book of Family Cookery' first published in 1983, I picked it up second hand somewhere.

Ingredients for Crispy Bars:
100g butter
100g mini marshmallows
100g toffee
100g rice crispies

Method:

  1. Line a tin with foil, the one I use is 12" x 8" - if you have something smaller that will be fine, the finished bars will just be a bit chunkier.
  2. Melt the butter, marshmallow and toffee in a saucepan over a low heat until they are all really well combined, let the mixture cook for a couple of minutes but keep stirring and don't let it burn.
  3. Remove from the heat and stir in the rice crispies.
  4. Spoon the mixture into the foil lined tin and spread out evenly - I find a metal spoon best for this job as the mixture is rather sticky.
  5. Allow to become cold before cutting up into pieces - whatever size you like! 
  6. EAT!!


TOP TIP - You must NOT put the mixture into the fridge to cool

OPTIONAL EXTRA - Melt 50g chocolate and drizzle over the crispy bars when they are cold, allow to set before cutting up the bars.

I hope that you enjoy trying out this recipe.
