Christmas Reindeer Rice Crispy Cakes

Milly Fyfe • Dec 07, 2023

I'm really getting into my festive baking this year 🎄

The kids are going bonkers for Christmas this year and I swear it's because they have been practicing for the nativity since the middle of November!

My magazine subscription came for BBC Good Food magazine last week and it has inspired me to have a go at the Xmas bakes with the kids (brave I know!)

Believe me they are super simple to make and you only need a few ingredients. Just be sure to stock up on a few of the decorations to make them into Rudolph!

These are pretty no fuss with a star rating of ⭐

( 1 star being simple and easy, 2 meaning a little more effort and 3 stars means that you’d need to invest a little more time into that bake)

Ingredients

150g butter 🧈
125g of rice crispies
1 bag of marshmallows
50g of brown sugar
Red smarties
Chocolate covered pretzels
Little icing eyes
A small amount of ready made icing

Method

First line a 20cm round cake tin with baking parchment
Then gently melt your butter, sugar, marshmallows and golden syrup in a pan
Meanwhile place your rice crispies inti a bowl
Mix the melted mixture over the rice crispies, stir until they are coated all over
Place the mixture into the lined cake tin and press down to ensure the rice crispies fill the whole tin
Place the cake tin in the oven for 5-10 minutes until golden brown
Allow to cool
Now for the fun part - decorating time!
Use some ready made icing or melted white chocolate to place red smarties for Rudolph's nose, two chocolate pretzels for antlers and two icing eyes
Watch how quickly these disappear !

As mentioned in a recent social media post, this recipe is inspired by content in a recent BBC Good Food Magazine however I have put my own spin on it.
