Instructions

  1. Lightly oil a square tin and set the puffed rice aside next to the hob.
  2. Heat the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat without stirring until you get an amber caramel, about 5 minutes.
  3. Off the heat, add the butter and the pinch of salt, then quickly stir in the puffed rice until well coated.
  4. Quickly press the mixture into the oiled tin with an oiled spatula and leave to set for 15 minutes.
  5. Melt the milk chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between.
  6. Spread the melted chocolate over the set surface, leave to cool completely, then cut into squares.

Variations and tips

Coconut version. Sprinkle toasted desiccated coconut over the chocolate while it is still melted, before it sets.

Using what's easy to find. Plain breakfast puffed cereal from the shop works just as well as puffed rice.
