Try this recipe for rice bubble slice, it is really easy to make and very yummy!
Rice bubble slice
Step 1- You will need 100g of butter, 1 1/2 Tbsp Golden syrup, 1/2 cup of sugar and 5 cups of rice bubbles. You will also need a big pot, a spoon to stir and a large cake tin or baking dish. Because we are using the stove, you will also need a helpful adult :)
Step 2- Spray the baking dish with oil spray or rub some butter on it. This will stop the slice from sticking. Then put the butter, sugar and golden syrup in the pot and ask an adult to help you use the stove to melt them together. When the mixture starts to bubble, tell your adult to turn the stove down to medium heat and keep stirring for 3 minutes, then turn off the stove and move the pot onto a heat proof mat or chopping board.
Step 3- Measure 5 cups of rice bubbles into the pot and stir everything together.
Step 4- Tip the mixture into the baking dish and squash it down with the back of the spoon.
Step 5- Leave the mix to cool. When it is almost cool, ask your adult to cut it into small rectangles.
Step 6- When it is fully cooled, try a piece and then share with your family. Keep the leftover pieces in an airtight container, such as a big lunchbox.
