• Heat chocolate by microwaving for 1 minute stirring and repeating until melted.

CHOCOLATE COVERED RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Steps:

• Grease the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Set aside.
• In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
• Reduce heat to low and add the marshmallows. Stir often until the marshmallows are melted and totally incorporated with the butter. Do not overcook or you'll have hard treats!
• Add the vanilla and stir to combine.
• Turn off the heat and pour in the cereal. Gently fold in the marshmallow mixture until all of the cereal is fully coated.
• Transfer the cereal mixture into the greased pan. Lightly press the mixture so you have a nice even layer throughout the pan.
• Allow the treats to cool, cut them into any size squares you like.
• Next, add the chocolate chips into a small bowl. Microwave in 15-20 second intervals stirring each time until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. If the chocolate seems too thick, add about 1 teaspoon of vegetable or coconut oil until the chocolate is shiny and stirs easily.
• Dip each Rice Krispies treat in chocolate and lightly shake off any excess chocolate. You can dip just the top or dunk half of the bar into the melted chocolate. If desired, add sprinkles to the top while the chocolate is still wet.
• Place the dipped treats on a sheet of wax paper to set up. Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.

COOKING WITH KIDS: CHOCOLATE CORNFLAKE CAKES

Steps:

• Children: Weigh out the ingredients. Older children can do this by themselves with supervision and little ones can help to pour or spoon ingredients into the weighing scales. Put 50g butter, 100g milk or dark chocolate, broken into chunks and 3 tbsp golden syrup in a saucepan or microwavable bowl. Put 100g cornflakes in another large bowl.
• Grown ups: Melt the weighed butter, chocolate and golden syrup in the saucepan over a low heat or briefly in the microwave. Allow to cool a little before pouring over the cornflakes.
• Children: Stir the ingredients together gently using a wooden spoon. Spoon the mixture into 12 cupcake cases arranged on a muffin tray (or baking sheet, if you don't have one). Grown ups will need to do this for younger children or simply arrange on a tray and let the mess happen. Put in the fridge to set.

CHOCOLATE RICE KRISPIE CAKES

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl with the butter and golden syrup and gently melt in 10-second bursts in the microwave, or melt it over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir until smooth, then take off the heat and stir in the rice pops, coating them gently with the chocolate until they are all completely covered.
• Divide the mixture between nine cupcake or 12 fairy cake paper cases - it's easier if you slide these into a muffin tin as it will help them hold their shape. Leave to set. If you want them to set faster, put in the fridge for 1 hr.
• Drizzle with a little melted chocolate and decorate with sweets, dried fruit or nuts while they are still wet enough to stick them on. Will keep in an airtight container for five days.

GOOEY RICE KRISPIE TREATS COVERED IN CHOCOLATE

• Stir in rice krispie treats.
• Turn into a buttered 9x9 pan and pack down using a buttered (so it won't stick) spatula.
