Easy Homemade Chocolate Recipes
If you would like to make some chocolate treats then there are lots of different ways of doing this.
The simplest chocolate cakes don’t even require the oven to be switched on. You will need to melt some chocolate though. Do this in a bowl over a pan of bubbling hot water. Use a couple of hundred grams of chocolate chips, or a large bar. You will also need a spoonful of golden syrup stirred in to the melted chocolate and a large volume of either cornflakes or crispy rice cereal. Melt chocolate, add syrup, take off heat. Pour in the cereal and stir until well covered. If you don’t put enough cereal in then there’s a higher chocolate ratio which some people like. The general rule is you keep adding cereal until you have no melted chocolate at the bottom of the bowl. Put the mixture in to cup cake cases and leave to set. Children can help you mix in the cereal and ladle out the mixture.
