Line a 20cm (8-inch) square baking tin with parchment paper and set aside.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the milk chocolate, butter, and golden syrup.
Melt the ingredients over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring continuously, until smooth and fully combined. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crisp rice cereal, mini marshmallows, and raisins.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and stir gently until everything is evenly coated in chocolate.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking tin, spreading it out evenly. Use the back of a spoon to press it down firmly into the tin.
Sprinkle the top with sprinkles for a decorative touch.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Once set, remove the Chocolate Scrunch from the tin and cut into 12 equal squares or bars.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
