If you're looking for the perfect sweet treat to consume in lockdown, look no further than the Marks and Spencer's Instagram account.
The supermarket giant has just shared a new recipe for crispy cakes made from its signature Percy Pig gummy sweets.
Created by London-based food blogger @PlatesOfTate, the cakes are easy to make and contain just five ingredients, including one bag of Percy Pigs and Percy Pig dessert sauce, which is a sweet sauce sold by the retailer and made from its Percy Pig gummies.
The result is a sweet, gooey cake akin to conventional rice crispy cakes.
The recipe clearly came as a delight to fans of Percy Pigs, with M&S's Instagram post featuring the recipe garnering more than 3,000 likes and hundreds of comments from excited followers.
Here's the recipe.

Method
- Line a large square baking tin with greaseproof paper
