yesterday I've sent the recipe and the photos of "desert's rose", but
nobody
has expressed any comment.
Does anyone know this dessert? I like it very much because is very
crispy!
Thank you
Pandora

Pandora I'm not familar with desert's rose so I saved the recipe to try.
I make something similar that we call mudpies. They are a favourite
no bake cookie. As soon as I get a chance I will make some and post a
pic with the recipe.

I make something similar, too...semi-sweet chocolate baking bits, a
quarter cup of Karo syrup and a spoon or two of water. Melt in
microwave & gently mix in 2-3 cups of Rice Chex. Drop by spoonfuls on
waxed paper or foil.

I think I would like to try also this recipe. i like very much rice!
Only 2 questions:
1) What is Karo syrup?
2) what is Rice Chex?
Thank you
Pandora

Oooops I ought to have said too that they are very easy to make by
children and so are (or used to be) very popular for children's cooking
sessions🙂

Of course they are not as posh as Pandora's🙂

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh! Ophelia! Now you exaggerates 🙂)))

Not at all dear girl🙂)

You make me feel so young....I love you!

DESERT'S ROSE

Category: dessert
Nb persons: 0

100 g chocolate - plain
50 g butter
1 cup (30-35g) cornflakes
1 tbs sugar - icing
1 orange - grated skin

Chop the chocolate. Put it in a pan with the butter and let liquefy cooking
in a bain-marie at low fire. Add icing sugar, the grated orange skin and
mix with a wood spoon. Take away from the fire, add cornflakes and mix
gently. Cover a tray with oven paper; distribute the mixture over it with
a spoon (one spoon and a half =one rose). Put in the fridge for 2-3 hours
before serving on another clean dish.

In New Zealand we make something similar called Chocolate Crackles.
It's a favourite at kids parties.

CHOCOLATE CRACKLES

250g kremelta (vegetable shortening)
4 cups rice bubbles
1 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp cocoa
1 cup coconut*

Put dry ingredients in a large bowl
Melt kremelta and pour into bowl
Mix well
Spoon into patty pans (paper cases about the size of mini muffins)
Makes 24
Set in fridge

*Note: I never use coconut when making these, and neither did my
mother. Without it, you just get more chocolate flavour.

Thank you also to you, Kathy! I love these crispy recipes, and I want to
thanks all the people who gave me other ideas.
Can I replace "Kremelta" with vegetal margarine?
Many Thanks

We use something called *Copha* instead, it's a solid white vegetable
shortening.

I don't know Pandora

Kremelta is a white vegetable shortening that is solid, quite hard, so
when the crackels set in the fridge they will be solid (but easy to
bite into). Is vegetal margarine hard? If not, I'd look for something
similar to kremelta (which is a brand name).

I just did an Internet search and Crisco vegetable shortening looks
similar. Can you buy that?

Yep, solid coconut oil. Maybe Pandora can get something like that? My
husband can eat Chocolate Crackles by the score. One is enough for me,
which is just as well with all that fat.

I have always preferred Honey Joys. Pandora - this is another cornflake
recipe for you, one from my childhood. And you would have no trouble
getting the ingredients for these. There's probably more than one version
of this recipe, but this is the one from the Kellogs website.

Honey Joys

90g butter or margarine
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon honey
4 cups Kellogg's® Corn Flakes

Preheat oven to 150°C.
Line 24 hole patty pan with paper cases.
Melt butter, sugar and honey together in a saucepan until frothy.
Add Kellogg’s® Corn Flakes and mix well.
Working quickly spoon into paper patty cases.
Bake in a slow oven 150°C for 10 minutes.
Cool.
