Tamara says
Easy recipe but they didn’t clump together! I’ve had them in the fridge all week trying to get them to stick and will just have to start again!
I’m disappointed as they are for my daughter’s birthday party tomorrow.
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Tamara, I'm sorry to hear the recipe didn't work out for you. Is it possible different quantities of ingredients were used? This can impact how well the crackles stick together.
I hope you daughter has a lovely birthday party.
K says
Was looking promising, but 5 secs on speed 4 chopped up the rice bubbles! Didn't want to do it again for another 5 secs speed 4. Will add more rice bubbles and see how it goes
Lucy says
Hi K, did you use reverse? xx
K says
Hi Lucy, yes I did. I only did it the once because it chopped them so finely. I added a lot more, no measurements, and then hand mixed them until all coated and put them in the cases. I still only got 12 (they were big chocolate crackles though really) plus a couple of piles on another baking tray which set fine too. Got the a thumbs up from the kids despite the mishap!
K says
