No-Bake Mondays: Cookie Crumble Cake

No-Bake Cookie Crumble Cake. What a sweetheart.
Today, we get our art on. 

In the spirit of Valentine's Day and making homemade gifts, here's a ridiculously easy, hassle-free, and kid-friendly no-bake project. One of the things I love most about no-bake recipes is you get to play with food, and it's hard to screw up (although I should take that back because of this).This No-Bake Cookie Crumble Cake is BIG on chocolate flavor, and it's a pretty little thing too. And most of all, it's a great way to bust out your art skills and have fun!

No-Bake Cookie Crumble Cake
In Minutes 15 (give or take a few more depending on how creative you wanna get)

Ingredients
3 cups toasted rice flakes
1 whole unsweetened chocolate baking bar
1 whole semi-sweet chocolate baking bar
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 stick butter, melted
m&ms

Procedure
1. Melt baking bars on a bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until completely melted.
2. Stir in butter and condensed milk. I made mine really chocolate-y so don't be afraid to add a little more sugar, like maybe 1/3 cup condensed milk (instead of 1/4 cup).
3. Gently stir in toasted rice flakes.
4. Spray pan or plate with cooking oil or butter. Press mixture on it and set aside for two hours (or refrigerate for 1 hour).
5. With a heart-shaped cookie cutter (or your superb cutting skillz), make a heart-shaped hole and fill with m&ms.
