Puffed rice crunch and lots of dark chocolate. A delicious dessert with only two ingredients, ten minutes and you make something really good. Oscar Wilde said that the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. This is what you feel as soon as you see a bar of chocolate, for me of course only dark, you can’t resist. The puffed rice that we already know and use in the morning for breakfast in milk, or in yogurt. This idea, just right after the Easter holidays, came to me from the need to use up the excess Easter egg chocolate, I wanted to make something different.
