We melted the chocolate 600g at a time, as that is all that would fit in the microwave. We would add this chocolate to around the same amount of Krispies, and adding both ingredients every 5 minutes or thereabouts. Continue until the mould is filled to the top with delicious chociness.

Kosher Krispie King: the archived recipe
Condensed from the original account by Richard Lamb and Ruthie Newman, published 2006-05-20. The quantities and method are the contributors’; this is not a new kitchen test.
Ingredients recorded
- A cart-full of chocolate, about 2.7kg
- Your height in Rice Krispies, about 1.3kg
- A large mould; the makers used a bucket
Both weights are approximate, as the account gives them with a tilde, and the makers say quantity counts, not quality. The whole was eaten over the following month.
Method recorded
- Pour the Rice Krispies into the large mould, remembering to take the free gifts out of the packets first.
- Melt the chocolate in your nearest heat source and pour it into the mould with the Rice Krispies; the makers melted 600g at a time, all the microwave would hold, adding about the same amount of Krispies each time, every 5 minutes or thereabouts, until the mould was full to the top.
- Mix well; after a while it feels like mixing cement, and the makers say to bear the pain.
- Leave to set overnight, preferably in a fridge, then remove the next day.

The original account
Are you ready for this pimp? Kosher, crispy and HUGE. Seriously, not for the faint-hearted-pimper.
Ok, buy yourself:-
– Cart-full of chocolate (we used ~2.7kg)
– Your height in Rice Krispies (we used ~1.3kg)
And that’s about it. Remember – quantity counts, not quality.
If you go to Sainsburys, be prepared to be accosted by members of the public and staff members who know about pimp-my-snack. They are EVERYWHERE (and extremely helpful). Nothing shouts out “I shall spend this evening pimping” then sweeping clean the entire shelf in a supermarket of all its milk chocolate.
Pour the Rice Krispies into a LARGE mould. We used a bucket.
Oh yeah, remember to take out the free gifts FIRST. Oops.
Melt the chocolate in your nearest heat source, and pour into your mould with the Rice Krispies.
We melted the chocolate 600g at a time, as that is all that would fit in the microwave. We would add this chocolate to around the same amount of Krispies, and adding both ingredients every 5 minutes or thereabouts. Continue until the mould is filled to the top with delicious chociness.
Mix well! After a while it will feel like you are mixing cement there is so much of it. BEAR THE PAIN. Remember – soon you will be tucking into this beast.
Leave to set overnight – preferably in a fridge. Then remove the next day and stare lovingly at it for a few hours. If only one could marry a krispie. Then eat ravenously for the next month.
Et, voila!
