Chocolate Crispie Cakes - urgent

[Katherine]

DH is making chocolate nests with a group of kids in less than an hour. I promised to find him a recipe and I forgot. I know they are very simple. I've got chocolate, cocoa, golden syrup, rice crispies and eggs to go in them but he wants it clearly written down. Trouble is I can't find actual recipe. Help!

I know there are many variations, but I used a tbsp of marg, a tbsp of golden syrup - boil together for about a minute, then add a tbsp of drinking chocolate and stir to dissolve, then add cereal until the mixture can't take anymore.

If you don't boil the marg and syrup sufficiently, the cakes don't stick together properly but you can't really go wrong otherwise.

melt the chocolate.
mix in rice crispies.
use a bowl to make nest shape.
thats all we normally do.

fron the \link{http://www.kelloggs.co.uk/recipes/recipe.asp?id=9\horses mouth}

just out of curiosity, why all the other ingredients? is it just for taste? or something else?

boiling sugar and marg is too complex for me!

I melt choc in bowl over hot water double boiler-style.
Add spoonful of butter
Add spoonful of syrup
Mix till blended.

Stir in rice crispies till correct consistency reached.

Splodge into paper cases, make hole in middle, add mini eggs.

Chill

Excellent. That will keep him happy. Thanks guys :)

the butetr and syrup make them glossy and less dry, but don't add much taste-wise

Well in my recipe, the butter and syrup are pretty necessary as the drinking chocolate is just a powder, but I did say there were alternatives.
