These are better known commercially as LCM Bars. These basically look the same and although they taste similar, they are a bit different in taste from LCMs. Very popular with the kids though.
Ingredients
5 cups rice bubbles or similar
1/4 cup cocoa
150g butter
300gm marshmallows (you could get away with a 250gm packet however)
100g Chocolate to top
1 tsp honey
Optional:
Sprinkles
Choc chips
Diced dried fruit
Mix cocoa and rice and any optionals together. Cover a large slice pan with greaseproof paper.
Melt butter and marshmallows in a pan on low heat until a smooth combined mixture. Add to rice mixture and stir quickly until coated.
Add a few cups warm water to the empty pan and put back on heat (this will dissolve the sticky marshmallow and serve as your double boiler for the chocolate.) do this quickly!
Press your rice mix into the slice pan. This is a bit time consuming. Use a spatula to press down. Place slice tin over the water pan to help you work the mix around if needed. When flat and pressed, leave to cool.
Add the chocolate and honey to a metal bowl and melt over the water pan. If the water is boiling remove from heat or your chocolate may burn.
When melted, pour into slice pan and smooth over top. A thin coat is all you need.
Refrigerate to set. Cut into small portions with a sharp knife.
Pack into airtight container between greaseproof paper.
