This is a great way to relive your childhood party mojo, where a kids party always included fairy bread, mini frankfurts and chocolate crackles.
Only thing is that this is far nicer. Childhood food memories are so different to the actual taste of the food. Eat chocolate crackles as an adult and they don’t have that magic. Well this is what they should taste like for an adult version of the 60s kids birthday party.
It’s a chocolate crackle cake with extra chocolate in the form of Nutella, in it and on it. Another option would be a white, milk or caramel chocolate melted over the top, and why not sprinkle the melted chocolate with smarties. Then you have an amazing nostalgic birthday cake – maybe for a milestone birthday. It always amazes me how adults and children always go for the OTT cakes.
