Fun Fairy Fudge Recipe the Kids can Cook

Posted on August 28, 2017 6 Comments

Sometimes you just need a sticky, pink, sweet snack with extra sprinkles.

Sometimes you just need a big piece of this fairy fudge!

Fairy Fudge - a fun, rice krispie treat recipe the kids can make

Fairy fudge isn’t really fudge at all. It’s just pink rice bubble slice (rice krispy treats if you happen to live on the other side of the world) with some add-ins and extra sprinkles. But my kids named it ‘fairy fudge’ the first time we made it because it looked like something the fairies would eat, and the name has stuck.

It’s super easy to make. There is no baking required, and you can do the melting part in the microwave, so it’s perfect for the kids to have a go at cooking.

You can add in whatever extras you like – choc chips, glace cherries, dried apricots, cranberries, cut up jelly lollies (candies), cut up chocolate bars – but whatever you do, don’t forget the sprinkles!

You can use cookie cutters to cut this into whatever shapes you’d like. Using a heart shaped cookie cutter would make gorgeous Valentine’s treats, or try an egg shaped cutter to make pretty Easter treats.

    I wish I had seen this earlier! Last week I bought 5 huge packs of marshmallows and had to separate (and eat) all the pink ones, becaus ei need the white ones for something else. D’OH!

    I’ve been making these for at least 30 years (one of the first things I learned how to cook when i was a kid living on the other side of the world), but not once, never ever had I thought about putting sprinkles or anything else on top. Doh! I now know what I will be doing the next time I make them,

    But another hint for them. Instead of putting them into a baking pan and cutting into cube-like shapes, pour them out and press down onto a greased cookie sheet, so they are rather flatish, then when cooled, use cookie cutters to make shapes like stars and hearts.

    […] Fairy Fudge – This is our version of Rice Krispy treats and I think if you used plain white marshmallows, christmas sprinkles and cut them into star shapes (inspired by A Pretty Cool Life’s Valentine Rice Krispy Treats) they’d be perfect for Christmas! […]
