Jelly Baby Jesus Cakes

bigfamilybigfunblog

This is a new recipe for us after coming across it on the creative Mum in the Madhouse‘s blog.

 Jelly Baby Jesus in a Manger Crispy Cakes.

I thought it looked like a nice, simple recipe for the kids to try.

The version we made differed slightly from Jen’s recipe but the basic principal is the same.

For a start, you will need :

  • Either shredded wheat or all-bran – type cereal (we used Tesco’s version of All Bran)
  • Milk chocolate
  • Jelly Babies
  • Cake cases

  1. Break the chocolate into pieces then melt (we just popped it in the microwave)
  2. Pop the cereal into a big bowl. We gave it a bit of a bashing with a rolling pin to break it up a bit and make it easier to mix into the chocolate
  3. Add the melted chocolate to the bowl full of cereal and give it a good stir until it’s all well-combined 
  4. Spoon the mixture into individual cake cases
  5. Make a little indentation in the middle of the mixture then pop in a jelly baby
  6. Repeat until you’ve used up all your mixture, then eat the remaining jelly babies while the kids aren’t looking 😋 (tip : distract them by letting them lick the bowl & spoon 😉)
  7. Then just pop the trays into the fridge for half an hour for the chocolate to set.

And enjoy with a cup of tea. 

These are definitely different and really simple for the kids to make, thank you to Mum in the Madhouse for the idea.
