Chocolate Crispie Cakes with NO heat?

[Annie8W]

Are there any suggestions for making something like chocolate crispie cakes but without having to use any heat at all? I want to make them with a group of kids where we won't have any access to hobs or microwaves.

The best I can come up with, for something that will set hard, is making up a chocolate icing, but that feels like it might be a bit too sickly.

Any suggestions welcome! Thanks.

Use a tealight?

Sit on chocolate bars until they are melted.

Yeah, I thought about candles for about a minute - but it's with about twelve crazy 5-7 year olds (which feels slightly hazardous!) and I can see that taking quite some time to melt enough chocolate.
But thanks for the suggestion.

Easy

A tin of Condensed milk stir in up to 4 tablespoons of cocoa until smooth(it depend how dark you like your chocolate - imagine a bar of chocolate that colour & that's how it tastes)

Crush lots of cornflakes into the mixture & stir well - very well - you are done when about 90% of the cornflakes are covered & it tasted delicious

Using a stainless steel eggcup (don't use a pottery or glass one) crunch the mixture in and compact it then use a knife to tap the side so it slides out onto a plate - dip the eggcup in warm water between times
& air dry in about 3/4 hours but they can be eaten straight away)

It makes about 36

I like that, orangepudding!

Take melted chocolate in a flask?

How about using some evaporated milk to make something? This recipe requires no heat and could be adapted.

Sounds interesting KatyMac - does that set well?
And would it work to dollop into cake cases, instead of compacting into something first?

Condensed milk even, not evaporated.

Never done that, sorry

My Grandma made them with my mum for the coronation, my mum with me for the Silver Jubilee & I made then with DD for the Golden Jubilee

I think they are a piece of social history - even the same 3 brands Nestle Condensed milk (I boycott everything else) Kellogs Corn Flakes & Boruneville cocoa

@RawCoconutMacaroon - a possibility I guess - as long as I have a big enough flask...

@helhasnofury... Thanks - simliar to KatyMac's suggestion. It could work, by substituting the biscuit for cereal - we want the big lumpy texture that the cereal would give.

What about truffles? If you are able to prep this at home, it’s just 50/50 chocolate and cream melted together, it will stay soft. The kids can roll it into balls and decorate?

I imagine they would go in cake cases & just take longer to set

Apologies x-post

It's definitely worth a go though, KatyMac. Thank you!
Perhaps a little bit of icing sugar as well will just help it in setting too without it getting the overly-sweet icing taste to it.

Hmm - they are very sweet anyway - I think I'd make the mixture drier (add more cornflakes)

Let's be honest they aren't going to complain really as long as they are chocolate & vaguely edible whether they are sticky or crunchy doesn't matter tremendously

Haha, that's true!

Would you be able to bring a kettle? Boil water, pour into bowl, set another bowl above it: the steam would heat the upper bowl like a Bain Marie and melt the chocolate.

If you have access to a kettle you could make a bain marie.

Sorry Bus cross-posted there.

Also a hairdryer would melt the choc.

The acid in lemon juice thickens condensed milk without heat.
