LUNCHBOX TREATS

LUNCHBOX TREATS

This is exactly what it says in the title: crunchy, crisp, sweet and toothsome, and the really great thing is that, as a parent, you feel you are doing your child some good at the same time as giving him or her a treat. The amount of milk chocolate is scant, and I get a warm rush from considering the nutritional benisons of malt, oat and sesame seeds. And how fabulous that this tastes like a homemade Lion Bar of beloved memory.

Ingredients

50 gram(s) milk chocolate
150 gram(s) rice malt syrup
55 gram(s) butter
60 gram(s) rice krispies
30 gram(s) cornflakes
40 gram(s) quick cook oats
75 gram(s) sesame seeds

Method

Melt the chocolate, syrup and butter gently in a heavy-based saucepan.
Add all the other ingredients, turning to coat everything well.
Using your hands (encased in latex CSI gloves), shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls. You should get about 25; you could also make this using a 12-bun muffin tin lined with muffin papers to get 12 larger cupcakes.
Let them set in the fridge for an hour or so, and they will keep quite happily in there for a week of treats.
