Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Australian
Serves: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups rice bubbles
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a 20cm square baking tin with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rice bubbles and rolled oats. Mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or spatula to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine honey and peanut butter. Microwave for 30-45 seconds, stirring halfway through until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the warm honey-peanut butter mixture over the rice bubbles and oats. Stir gently but quickly to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly coated.
- Add chocolate chips to the mixture and fold in gently, allowing some chips to melt slightly from the warm mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tin, pressing down firmly and evenly with the back of a spatula or clean hands to create a compact layer.
- Place the tin in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to set completely.
- Once set, lift the slice out of the tin using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting board.
- Cut into 16 even squares using a sharp knife, cleaning the knife between cuts for neat edges.
- Store the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Use fresh, crisp rice bubbles for maximum crunch and texture.
- For a smoother mixture, ensure your honey and peanut butter are thoroughly combined and slightly warm.
- Press the mixture firmly into the tin to create compact, neat squares that hold together perfectly.
- Allow sufficient chilling time (1-2 hours) to ensure the slice sets completely.
- For a variation, try using different types of chocolate chips or adding chopped nuts for extra texture.
- Use a sharp, clean knife when cutting to achieve clean, professional-looking squares.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and optimal texture.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure you use gluten-free oats and rice bubbles.
- Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew for unique flavor profiles.
- These slices make excellent meal prep treats or grab-and-go snacks for busy mornings!
