Ghostly Peanut Butter Squares
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Saucepan
- Spatula
- Large mixing bowl
- Weighing scales
- Wooden spoon
- 20 x 20cm/8″ x 8″ baking tin
Ingredients
- 400 g peanut butter smooth
- 200 g golden syrup
- 200 g special K flakes
- 200 g desiccated coconut
- 400 g milk chocolate
For the topping
- 300 g white chocolate melted
- 12 marshmallows white, halved lengthways
- black edible food art pen
Instructions
- Place the milk chocolate in a bowl over a small simmering saucepan of water and allow to melt gently. In another saucepan, over a gentle heat, melt together the peanut butter, sugar, and golden syrup until runny and smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the Special K flakes and coconut until combined. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and using a wooden spoon stir until everything is nicely combined.
- Turn the mixture out into a 2 inch deep baking dish and spread out evenly pressing down with the back of the spoon.
- Pour over the melted chocolate and place in the fridge to allow the chocolate to chill & harden, but take out before the chocolate is completely firm to allow wedging in the marshmallow topping.
- Meanwhile, using a black edible food art pen, draw on eyes & a mouth onto the marshmallows.
- Once the chocolate has chilled, push the marshmallow ghosts slightly into the mixture and drizzle over the white chocolate, to create a web-like effect.
- Once the white chocolate has cooled, slice & serve into small bites!
