LES CRISPIES
(Recette recueillie par Chloé ce 2 mars 2006)
Ingrédients (pour 18 crispies environ)
160 g de chocolat noir
70 g de chocolat au lait
5 grandes cuillerées d'eau
1 cuillerée de golden sirup
90 g de corn flakes
Faire fondre le tout (sauf les céréales, bien sûr) et laisser refroidir un petit peu. Ajouter les céréales et bien mélanger. Répartir dans les petits cake cups en papier et laisser refroidir.
Avis de la commission dégustation: on pourrait mettre davantage de chocolat, de sorte à mieux couvrir les pétales de maïs.
