Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
  • Spearmint Leaves - cut in half. These are a popular green soft jube lolly in Australia (especially at Christmas time). They are made by Allens, plus there are home brand varieties available too. If you don't have access to Spearmint Leaves, you can use any type of green soft jube lollies
  • I recommend buying a new box of Rice Bubbles (Rice Krispies) for this recipe. It's important that the Rice Bubbles are fresh so that the crackles are crunchy.
  • Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • This recipe is not suitable for freezing.
