Crispy Gingerbread Men Cakes
Not the traditional gingerbread man recipe but one with a twist – enough to feed a football team.
Make enough of these to feed a football team – this recipe will make 12 crispie cakes.
Ingredients
250g butter
100g golden syrup
200g mini marshmallows (alternatively you can cut larger ones into samll pieces)
5 cups puffed rice cereal
1 teaspoonful vanilla essence
1/2 teaspoonful ginger essence
150g ready to roll icing in the colour of your favourite football team
tube of gel icing
Utensils
wooden spoon
mixing bowl
medium sized cup
medium sized saucepan
teaspoon
rolling pin and board
Gingerbread man shaped pastry cutter or a sharp knife and a steady hand
large plate
shallow tin – rectangular or square
Method
- Melt the butter in a medium sized saucepan over a low heat
- Add the marshmallows and mix together
- Add vanilla essence and stir
- Add ginger essence and stir
- Add the syrup still stirring over the low heat until it’s all blended together
- Add the rice cereal and mix well so all the cereal is coated
- Empty into a shallow tin and press down with wooden spoon until flat
- Put into fridge for 20 minutes
- When it’s half set use the gingerbread man cutter to make football players
- Roll out the icing on the board until it’s quite thin and then cut t-shirts for the men (the best way to do this is to use the gingerbread man cutter but then cut off the head, legs and arms so you’re left with a t-shirt shape that fits perfectly
- Write numbers on the T-shirts with the gel icing
- Put back into the fridge for at least half an hour before serving
- Enjoy with friends!
