Yummy chocolate crunchie snacks

Cadbury make a product called 'Crunchie Rocks' which are yummy little mounds of corn flakes (or similar) and crunchie pieces smothered in chocolate :) But the little bag (which doesn't last longer than a couple of sittings) is very expensive for what it actually is! They look really simple to make, so I had a go!

All you need is a Crunchie bar, a medium size bar of chocolate (I got Tesco's cheapo version, it was about 30p), and some corn flakes/honey nut flakes etc. You could even do it with rice crispies!

It really easy: first just melt some chocolate. I did it in the microwave, but you could also do it on the stove. While that is melting, smash up your crunchie bar. I didn't have a mallet or anything, so I just hit it repeatedly against the edge of the worktop! Don't do it too much or the pieces will get too small.
When the chocolate has finished melting, sprinkle the crunchie pieces into the chocolate, and also a couple of handfuls of the cornflakes. Mix together well, and then dollop onto a plate or tin foil into equal sized little mounds. Then stick in the fridge to set. Mine were set within 1 hour 15 mins, but they may be done sooner than that, I didn't check.

This is what they look like! Not necessarily too appetising, but I blame it on the bad lighting! But they are really yummy!!

They are fun and easy to make, and kids would love to help make them! They would be brilliant for parties etc!!

  1. This is such a good idea! I'm going to have to try it out :)

    You could even make your own honeycomb! If you've never made it before it's really fun :)

    Love the blog!

  2. Great idea! I love making rice crispy cakes, this will add something!

    Have you tried making the Cadbury snaps? The pringle type chocolate pieces that are really expensive too!

    -All you need to do is melt a bar of Cadbury chocolate
    -add brown sugar, this adds the crunchy bit (don't skimp on the sugar, I thought I put way to much in and I really needed double)
    -then add flavouring, peppermint essence, orange what ever you fancy
    -mix it all together and pour the mix onto a baking tray to set, with cling film underneath so you can lift it off the tray

    It doesn't look as pretty as the perfect Pringle shape pieces, but it tastes great!
