This Recipe Makes 9 Bars

Sevens Chocolate Bars – It was definitely a must have chocolate throughout my childhood. It is a pity that Cadbury discontinued this irresistible chocolate in South Africa.

This chocolate bar consisted of rice krispies or rice puffs, corn flakes, coconut & oats, all smothered in delicious milk chocolate – delicious right!

There are many lovers of this chocolate so I figured why not create your very own whenever the craving hits. It may not be 100% legit but hey this was the closest I could get to my most loved chocolate.

This mixture can be spooned into a casserole & cut out afterwards but the silicone moulds make them less messy & look so much more presentable.

Frequently Asked Questions & Cooking Tips

Expert kitchen guidance and troubleshooting for making the best Sevens Chocolate Bars

How should I store Sevens Chocolate Bars to maintain freshness?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 to 2 weeks. For milk-based sweetmeats like burfee or soji, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 7 to 10 days.

Can I substitute butter with margarine or oil?

Pure butter or ghee provides the authentic rich aroma and texture characteristic of traditional Indian sweetmeats and bakes. Margarine can be used in a pinch, but butter delivers superior flavor.
