RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Use a fresh box of Rice bubbles or Rice Krispies - this will ensure your slice is crispy and crunchy!
Press the mixture VERY firmly into a greased and lined baking tin -the mixture needs to be pressed down very firmly so that it doesn’t break apart you you cut it.
Adding coconut oil or vegetable oil to the Caramilk chocolate - will prevent the chocolate topping layer from cracking when sliced.
Setting time - leave in the fridge to set for a minimum of 3-4 hours (overnight is best).
Cutting the slice - take the slice out of the fridge 30 minutes before cutting to allow the chocolate to soften slightly. Use a small serrated knife to cut through the chocolate layer and then through the Rice Bubbles layer.
Storing the slice - Caramilk Rice Bubble Slice can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. It can also be frozen for up to 1 month.
