Free-from – Rudolf's Reward Recipe

A sweet gluten-free treat for chocolate lovers

Serves:

Makes 12 cakes

Ingredients

125g butter
6 tbsp golden syrup
85g milk chocolate, chopped
40g dark chocolate, chopped
90g gluten-free rice crispies

Topping:

50g milk chocolate buttons
20g butter
20g dark chocolate, chopped
12 whole natural colour glacé cherries

* Put the butter, golden syrup, milk chocolate and dark chocolate in a saucepan and melt over a medium-low heat, stirring until smooth. The mixture should thicken slightly as you stir it.

* Weigh out the rice crispies into a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted mixture over the rice crispies and stir well with a wooden spoon until all of the rice crispies are well coated.

* Spoon the mixture into the 12 cake cases. Press the mixture gently into the case so that you have a reasonably solid little cake. For the topping, sprinkle the milk chocolate buttons over the top of each cake, pushing them in slightly.

* Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water, stirring until smooth (or in a microwave). Pop a glacé cherry on each cake and drizzle the butter-and-chocolate mixture over the cakes with a metal spoon. Place in the fridge for 1 hour to set.
