These easy Chocolate Rice Crispy Cakes are a nostalgic, no-bake treat. Perfect for making with kids or just when you need a chocolate fix. Gluten free and easy to make dairy free (see recipe notes).
Break up the chocolate and add it to a heatproof bowl along with the butter and golden syrup. Place the bowl over a pan of hot water. Keep stirring the chocolate until it melts, then remove it from the heat. Alternatively, heat in 30-second intervals in the microwave until melted.
Add the puffed rice to a large mixing bowl and then pour over the melted chocolate mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together so that all the cereal is completely and evenly coated.
Lay out the cupcake cases and add around 2 dessert spoons of the cereal mixture per case, to fill them. If you like you can decorate them with sweets or melted white chocolate, or just keep them plain. Refrigerate until set.
