Comic Relief

Comic Relief is a really big deal in our office, as they are one of our clients. Therefore a variety of events, big and small, have been organised over the years.

This year there was a dress-down day, a cake sale, and an auction of celebrity items, the big ticket item being a T-shirt signed by Danny Boyle (Oscar-winning director of Slumdog Millionaire). Two guys also got lots of their clients to sponsor them to wear kilts and red noses all day.

I made rice krispie marshmallow squares for the cake sale. I’ve eaten these, but never made them before, and it was easier than I thought, although pretty sticky! I didn’t really use a recipe, but the basic gist is below.

2 packets marshmallows
50g butter
As many rice krispies as could be mixed in, probably 250-300g

Melt the butter in a non-stick pan, and then add in the marshmallows, stirring until they are completely melted. Pour over the rice krispies, and mix well so all of them are coated. Put into a roasting tin lined with greaseproof paper and put into the fridge to set. Cut into squares and sell for charity!
