I love fridge cake / rocky road / tiffin – call it what you want it is delicious and I find it hard to resist whenever there is any on offer. I was recently sent my new Degustabox UK parcel and inside was a pack of Alpha Bites cereal and I decided to make some abc bars (thats Alpha Bites Chewy Bars to be exact!), as I know that rice krispies and multi grain hoops work in a fridge cake.
Here is how I made these easy non cook bars
- 200g Alpha Bites Cereal
- 125g unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp golden syrup
- 300g white chocolate
- 50g mini white marshmallows
- 50g dried mixed red berries (cranberries, raisins and cherries)
- Line a square brownie tin with grease proof paper
- In a pan over a moderate heat, melt the butter, chocolate and golden syrup together - keep stirring
- Place the Alpha Bites in a large bowl, and pour over the melted sauce and stir to cover all the Alpha Bites
- Add the fruit and marshmallows and mix again
- Pour into your lined tin and push into all sides and smooth over the top
- Allow to cool down for about 15 minutes, then cover with foil and place in the fridge over night (or for about 4 hours)
- Remove and cut into squares and then keep your abc bars in a tub with a lid to keep crispy and keep in the fridge - or freeze some for another time.
These are scrummy and I think fun because you can see what letters of the alphabet you can find whilst eating them! You could use milk chocolate instead of white, but I feel that using white makes the bars more colourful as the white marshmallows and red dried fruit show up more.
These bars would be great for parties, after school treats or maybe lunch boxes (are they deemed healthy enough? Hmmm the jury is out on that one!). Very easy to make and a recipe that children could enjoy helping to make too. You can also make the squarews much smaller – so you could easily make 16 – I just like large portions!!
Give them a go. They are as easy as a, b , c!!

I was sent a Degustaboxuk for the purpose of this review. The recipe is my own as are my comments which are honest.
