Last month, we went to Peppa Pig World and stayed at Premier Inn for a night on Easter Sunday. Upon arrival, Abby was given a free Easter chocolate egg of her choice. She chose a Disney Princess one that has a hollow chocolate egg, some mini marshmallows and a chocolate bar. That chocolate bar was heaven! I (yes, I. And nope, I didn't feel guilty at all) just can't forget about it and had to find out where I can buy them.
I checked the box, but I had no clue who made it. I searched the supermarkets afterwards, but there wasn't any apart from Kellog's Rice Krispies Square, which I was certain wasn't the same thing as the bar I had was coated with a good layer of milk chocolate. It was a bit like eating a Kit Kat, but instead of a wafer biscuit, it was puffy (I'll explain later why I have to emphasise on its puffiness) rice crispies mixed with more milk chocolate.
I wasn't about to give up. I can be a very determined person when it comes to situations like this. So I bought a bag of rice crispies (ASDA value range, 70p for 440g) and 2 bars of Green & Black milk chocolate (funny combination isn't it).
We melted the chocolate, and poured in as many rice crispies as the bowl would hold.
After mixing it, I spread it out in a tin and let it set in the fridge. I thought it tasted a bit bitter so I sprinkled icing sugar all over it. I then coated 1/3 of it in 60% dark chocolate, ate 1/3 while doing that (with hubby and Abby, of course) and drizzled the left over chocolate on the rest of the rice crispies cake.
This is a good example of chocolate that has not been tempered. You get all these white streaks making the chocolate look inedible (it's still nice) , melts easy and doesn't give you that snap when you bite into it.
It was still very nice, but it's not that chocolate bar I had in Premier Inn. The chocolate coating was tempered and thicker, and the rice crispies inside was white and very puffy (like the white bits on a pop corn!). It was still crispy but much softer to bite into, which makes it really nice. I think the ASDA ones I bought was over baked (or fried?) and it was a bit hard.
So, did any of you tried the Disney Princess Easter egg, and have tried that chocolate bar I am talking about? Do you perhaps know where I can find it?
