Helped by my trusted assistant Jack we set to work making Spooky Pumpkin Crispy Cakes. The ingredients were the same as in my Valentine Chocolate Heart but just substituting the chocolate for the orange buttons.
You will need :
Greaseproof paper
100g Silver Spoon orange buttons
40g butter or margarine
40g Golden Syrup
75g cereal
- Melt the butter, syrup & buttons in a saucepan over a low heat.
 |
| No they're not carrots! |
- Add the cereal to a large bowl
- Pour over the orange mixture and mix until cereal is completely coated.
- Spread onto a pumpkin template - you can download one from the internet,
- Decorate with whatever you fancy - we tried green writing icing but it didn't show up enough.
- We then opted for fondant icing to make the stalk and face.
 |
| oh-ohh watch that knife! |
- Allow to set in the fridge.
- Enjoy.

| I want cookie.. |
The cakes didn't set as much as they would if chocolate had been used but they were firm enough & very delicious and crispy. All the kids loved them and are keen to have them again.

That's very cool! Do you think it would work with rice crispies as well?
ReplyDeleteThanks....I think it would work with most cereal, including rice Krispies or Cheerios. x
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant. I'm doing a round up of cooking with toddlers and would love to include these if that is alright with you. Also any input you have I tweet at @rainydaymum
ReplyDeleteOh they look yummy! Definitely going to give them a go! No to find the orange buttons!
ReplyDeleteAsda is where I found them....they're great aren't they! Suppose you could use white choc & orange food colouring?
ReplyDeleteThese look great, I'll have to find these ingredients x
ReplyDeleteShe won't find it hard to be a better cook than me I am sure! ;) x
ReplyDeletewill need to look for these and let granddaughter loose in the kitchen by herself with no grandson around.
