*Christmas Crispie Cakes*
Makes 8 large ones, or 12 small ones

Crisp and chocolatey and very Christmassy!  Children love them!

3 ounces crisp rice cereal (3 cups)
50g of good quality milk chocolate (I use Green and Blacks) (About 2 ounces)
50g of good quality dark chocolate (Again Green and Blacks) (About 2 ounces)
Assorted decorations
a bit of melted chocolate to help adhere the decorations
sifted icing sugar


Melt both chocolates in a bowl set over simmering water.  Don't allow the water to touch the bottom of the bowl.  Whisk well together.  Place the cereal into a bowl.  Pour the chocolate over top and mix well with a spoon.  Line a bun tin with paper liners.  (I like to use pretty ones)  Spoon in the cereal chocolate mixture, heaping it up a bit.  Allow to sit at room temperature for an hour or so to set. Dust with icing sugar to look like snow.  Melt a bit more chocolate and add Christmas sprinkles and decorations to suit.  Chocolate Flakes cut into short lengths make great logs!  If you can get some holly leaves they look pretty nice sitting on top of the logs.  I used holly sprinkles and they are not as nice, but are still attractive.
