You will need just 3 ingredients:

How to make:
Break the chocolate up into squares and place into a heat proof bowl.Microwave or place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water for 10 seconds, stirring until it gently melts.Take the bowl of chocolate off the heat and tip in your Rice Krispies and stir gently until they are all coated in chocolate.Spoon into cupcake wrappers or on a flat, cool surface and place 3 Mini Eggs in the centre before the mixture cools. Wait until completely cool before eating (we know this is the hardest part!).
