Get the whole family involved in rustling up this super-simple fridge caked that’s topped with M&S jazzie sprinkles and cute mini Colin choc faces.
Ingredients
125g M&S iced party rings
400g milk chocolate, broken into small pieces
75g butter
½ tub M&S chocolate brownie mini bites, each cut into quarters
100g white chocolate chunks
M&S jazzie sprinkles
Mini Colin faces
Method
1. Grease and line with greaseproof paper a large, deep baking tin (roughly 6-inch square).
2. Put the iced party rings in a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin until you have 5-pence-sized pieces.
3. In a large saucepan over a low heat, melt the milk chocolate and butter, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Melt until no lumps remain. Allow to cool for 5-10 mins.
4. Stir the crushed party rings, brownie pieces and white chocolate chunks into the chocolate-butter mix until everything is fully coated.
5. Press the mix into the lined baking tin, smoothing until even. Sprinkle with jazzie sprinkles and top with mini Colin faces, spaced apart so that later you can cut the fridge cake into pieces that each have a face.
6. Put in the fridge and chill for a minimum of 4 hours before cutting into pieces.
