ELF MUNCH
This cinnamon cereal and chocolate Elf Munch is completely addictive and simple to make. Plus, it can double as an Elf on the Shelf activity!
Equipment
- Measuring scales / cups
- Slate or chopping board + baking paper
Ingredients
- 180 g Curiously Cinnamon Cereal / Cinnamon Toast Crunch
- 300 g milk chocolate I use Dr Oetkers
- 55 g unsalted butter
- 1 ½ tablespoons icing sugar / powdered sugar
- White mini marshmallows
- Red & green M&M’s buy a large pack (see note 1), if in US buy M&M Holiday Mix
- Christmas themed sprinkles, green, red, white
Instructions
- Break the chocolate into a medium-large saucepan. Add the butter. Put the saucepan over the smallest hob ring and put the heat on low. Stir often and once the chocolate is mostly melted, remove from the heat and stir until it's fully melted.
- Add in the cereal and fold it into the chocolate until completely coated.
- Spoon the cereal onto a board, platter or baking tray in an even-ish layer. Chill in the fridge for 5 minutes.
- Then remove from the fridge and dust over the icing sugar using a mini sieve.
- Dot around your M&M's and marshmallows, the add your sprinkles.
- Carefully transfer to the fridge to set for at least 30 minutes. See note 2 for storage.
Notes
Note 1: If you are leaving the ingredients out in bowls from your elf, you might want to buy 2 packs of M&M’s if you want them to go in separate bowls. Otherwise one pack and mix them together in a mini bowl will be fine.
Note 2: Once set, cover with clingfilm (saran wrap) or transfer to resealable food bag or storage container. Then store in the fridge for up to one week. Bear in mind if refrigerated for long once decorated the M&M’s will loose their sheen and go cloudy.
