Christmas recipes: Rice Crispy Wreaths

There's something about Christmas that makes me want to drag out all my recipe books and get creating, yet sometimes you just want to make something really simple, that requires absolutely no cooking and minimal effort.
I found the recipe for these festive wreaths over at Baking Mad and immediately knew they fit the bill.
They look so pretty, and you can basically bung whatever decorations you have lying around both in your kitchen cupboards and even left over in your Christmas decorations box to top them off with!
I must admit, I did buy the gold glitter spray especially for them though, I couldn't resist!

Ingredients:

25 grams butter
2 tbsp Golden Syrup
150 grams chocolate of your choice, chopped
100 grams Rice Crispies

To make:

• Place butter and syrup in a pan on a low heat and melt
• Add the chocolate and stir together
• Add the crispies and stir until completely coated
• On a sheet of baking paper, arrange the mixture into circles
• Leave to cool in the fridge for half an hour until hardened
• Decorate as you fancy!
