Rice Bubble Slice

This rice bubble slice is a beloved childhood sweet treat in New Zealand and Australia, made with rice bubbles (or krispies), honey, sugar, and butter. It's similar to a rice krispie treat but sweetened with honey instead of marshmallows. It's a crowd favourite and takes no time at all to make!

Ingredients

125 g butter
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
3 tablespoons honey creamed
5 cups rice bubbles or rice krispies
1 tablespoon sprinkles

Instructions

Line a slice tin (approximately 8×8″ or 20x20cm) with baking paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Melt the butter, sugar, and honey in a saucepan over low-medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil for about 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the Rice Bubbles. Stir well to coat the cereal evenly.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared slice tin. Press it down firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Cover with sprinkles.
Place the tin in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until the slice is firm.
Cut into squares or bars.

Notes

Use fresh rice bubbles - Stale Rice Bubbles won't deliver the same crispy texture, so ensure your cereal is fresh for the best crunch.

Melt slowly - When melting the butter, sugar, and honey, keep the heat low to avoid burning. Stir continuously until smooth before bringing it to a gentle boil.

Don’t overcook the syrup - Boiling the mixture too long can make the slice too hard. Let it bubble for just 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Easy cutting - Use a sharp knife and press down firmly rather than sawing through to prevent crumbling. If the slice is too firm, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting.

Additions - Drizzle melted chocolate over the top or mix in extras like mini marshmallows or M&Ms.
