STICKY BILLIES

I got this recipe from a friend's Mum when I was about 10 years old.  These were always my kid's favourites, still are!  Great to get small children involved in making them too.












INGREDIENTS
Equal quantities of:
Marshmallows
Golden toffee (either wrapped toffees or loose)
Butter
Rice Krispies

Tip:  I usually buy a couple of large bags of marshmallows and whatever they weigh gives me the weight for the rest of the ingredients.  You don't have to be too precise with the weights but weigh your ingredients never the less, you'll be surprised at how many Rice Krispies you need!


WHAT YOU NEED:
A large pan and a baking tray, possibly two

METHOD
Put the toffee and butter together in the large pan and heat on a medium heat stirring all the time.  Once the toffees have started to melt add the marshmallows, keep stirring until everything has melted and it is a thick luxurious sauce.  Don't allow the mixture to boil. Take the pan off the heat.

Immediately mix in the Rice Krispies, bit by bit, turning over the mixture after each addition with a large spoon.  Don't stir but keep turning the mixture over and eventually the Rice Krispies will all be covered.  You might not think that you will be able to get all the Rice Krispies covered but I promise you will, just keep turning!

When all your cereal is fully coated tip out the mixture onto a baking tray.  Push the mixture down with your hands and smooth out into all the corners, or you could use a palette knife.  Leave to cool.  When it is cooled cut into squares, easiest way is with a pizza wheel.  Prepare to not be able to stop eating them!
