When it comes to sweets, few match the excellence of Percy Pigs.
Marks & Spencer's iconic strawberry gummies have been our go-to for as long as we can remember and we're always looking for new ways to enjoy them.
So far this lockdown, the supermarket has treated us to a Percy Pig ice-cream and we've spied boozy Percy Pig cocktails being made at home - but the latest M&S-approved bake using the pink sweeties has got us really excited.
Percy Pig Crispy Bars are here and they are so, so easy to make. M&S has even shared the recipe online for everyone to give a go at home.

Think of them a bit like the chewy Rice Krispies bars we used to make at primary school, except these are infused with chunks of the delicious gummy sweets and marshmallows. Mmm!
All you'll need to make them are:
- 40grams butter
- 250grams M&S mini marshmallows - two bags
- 125grams M&S Percy Pig dessert sauce
- 100grams Rice Krispies or equivalent rice pop cereal
- 170grams bag M&S Percy Pigs, chopped/torn into small pieces
Method:
