Recipe Notes

  • Keep refrigerated: These treats need to stay refrigerated, or they can get soft.

  • Golden syrup substitute: If you don’t have golden syrup, make my homemade version, or you can use honey instead.

  • Fun variation: Try making these with Rice Krispies instead!

  • Easy serving: Place these in paper-lined individual muffin cups to set for easy serving.

  • Quick set: If you are in a hurry, you can let these set in the freezer for about one hour.
