Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats!

Today I took some time out from hectic third year work (ahhhh!) to make some yummy chocolate rice Krispie treats!!

How to make them: 

-100g chocolate 

-60g butter

-3 tablespoons of golden syrup

-rice Krispies 

1. Melt the chocolate and butter together until the mixture is a glossy, smooth texture. 

2. Add in the golden syrup.

3. Pour in the rice Krispies and stir until they are all coated in the choccy mixture. Keep adding the cereal until you think that no more could be covered by the mixture. 

4. Place in the fridge until stuck together. 

Then YUM! 

A simple recipe, but something to cheer you up if you're going through third year uni hell! 

What have you been up to today? Cooked up anything yummy? 

Floral Star Cupcakes

Tonight I had the urge to bake something! I was going to make macaroons but didn't have all the ingredients (hopefully make them tomorrow so check back!), so I made vanilla cupcakes with cute regal icing in the shape of stars and flowers.

The cupcake recipe is super simple and can be found here. 

It's the usual 175g caster sugar, 175g butter and 175g self raising flour. Add two teaspoons of vanilla extract and three eggs and mix together. Put in some cute bun-cases and pop into the oven for 12-15mins at 170c.

For the icing I simply bought the easy roll regal icing and rolled it really thin. I then cut out the stars and flowers and stuck them onto the cupcakes with butter icing.
