Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
- Always use a new, unopened box of Rice Bubbles for maximum crunch.
- Work quickly when mixing the marshmallow mixture through the cereal — it sets fast.
- To stop sticking, grease your spatula or hands lightly with butter before pressing into the tin.
- Use a piece of baking paper to press the mixture down firmly and evenly into the tin — it stops the mixture sticking to your spoon or hands and helps the slice hold together when cut.
- Slice the bars while still slightly soft (after chilling for 1–2 hours), for neat, clean edges.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freeze in individual portions in ziplock bags for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight or pop straight into lunchboxes to thaw by recess.
- For parties, cut into mini squares so you get more servings out of one batch
