An easy festive recipe you can make at home! If you love rice crispies but often find they’re a bit too sweet, this tart and balanced recipe is for you. I’ve added the classic combination of cranberry, orange and chocolate into these rice crispy treats. The orange peel adds a hint of citrus, the dried cranberries add tartness and the chocolate compliments both of these flavours. - To get into the festive mood, I’ve cut these treats into pine tree shaped slices and decorated them accordingly with chocolate Here’s the recipe!
