Mini eggs, chocolate and tahini Rice Krispie treats

  • Salt and sweet: Tahini and honey are the stars here with the salty pretzels tempering the sweetness and adding extra crunch.
  • Flexible recipe: We’ve kept these bars crumbly as we like the texture – if you want something neater, either melt your chocolate directly into the tahini mixture at the start or add and gently melt a couple of chopped marshmallows. The recipe works with mini eggs and leftover Easter eggs.
  • Quick and easy: There’s no need to turn on the oven to make these easy fridge bars. Even better, they need just 10 minutes prep and, once set, keep in an airtight container for up to a week.

Ingredients

  • 130g tahini
  • 40g honey
  • ½ tsp salt flakes
  • 80g rice pops
  • 20g baked pretzel snacks, crushed, plus extra to decorate

  • Mini eggs, crushed, to decorate (optional – omit them and use dark choc for dairy-free bars)

Method

  1. Line a container or baking dish with baking paper (see Know-how). Put the tahini, honey and salt in a small saucepan over a low heat. Warm through, stirring constantly, until completely combined, then tip in the rice pops and crushed pretzels. Stir until combined, then decant into the container and press down with the back of a spoon (or your hands) to flatten the top and pack everything tightly.
  2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, then drizzle it over the top of the rice pop mixture. You can go for a complete coating or a more Jackson Pollock-style drizzle-and-splatter approach, depending on how much choc you have to use up. Scatter over more pretzel pieces and, if using, some crushed mini eggs. Put the container in the fridge to chill and set for at least 30 minutes, then turn out and slice into bars. They’ll last for a week in an airtight container.

  1. The container you use to set the bars in can be any size (within reason) – a smaller one will create deep, thick bars while a larger one will create flat, thin ones. For reference, the container we used held around 920ml.
