Ingredients

For the crispy bars:

  • 350 g vegan condensed milk
  • 120 g vegan chocolate melted
  • 150 g vegan butter melted
  • 220 g puffed rice

Chocolate topping:

  • 450 g vegan chocolate melted
  • Vegan sprinkles optional

Instructions

Preparation:

  • Line a 9x9" baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.

Making the caramel:

  • Melt the initial 120g chocolate. 
  • To a medium saucepan, add the vegan condensed milk, melted vegan butter and melted chocolate. Mix for roughly 5 minutes over a medium-high heat. It should become thick and runny like ordinary caramel. Cook for a further minute or so if you'd like it even thicker.

Making the crispy bars:

  • Pour the puffed rice into a medium bowl.  Then pour over the caramel sauce until the puffed rice is fully covered, sticky and brown. Press it firmly into the base of the prepared baking tin. I used the bottom of a glass. 
  • Place the caramel puffed rice base into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set. 
  • Once the base is almost set, melt the remaining 450g chocolate using the double boiling method. You can also melt it another way but I find double boiling the best for not burning the chocolate.
  •  Pour the chocolate over the base and allow it to set at room temperature. I also added vegan sprinkles. As soon as the topping has hardened, serve.
