Chewy Coco Pops Marshmallow Squares Recipe

Marshmallow Crispy Squares from Nigella Express

• 45g butter

• 300g mini marshmallows (I use normal sized ones and it was fine)

• 180g Rice Krispies

• Edible glitter or sprinkles (optional) I used chocolate flakes

Step 1 - Melt the butter in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a low heat.

Step 2 - Add the marshmallows and cook gently until they are completely melted and blended, stirring constantly.

Step 3 - Take the pan off the heat and immediately add the cereal, mixing lightly until well coated.

Step 4 - Press the mixture into a greased 32cm x 23cm tin; you may have to put on vinyl CSI gloves and press it down into the corners, as it will be very sticky. Flatten the top and then scatter over the edible glitter or sprinkles, if so inclined. I have to say that this is easier said than done, the gloves ended up with a gooey mess all over them so I wasn't really able to flatten it as much as I would have liked.

Step 5 - Let the marshmallow crispy squares cool completely in the tin and then cut them into 24 squares.

Makes 24 squares
