Ingredients
- 🤎 85g of rice bubbles 2 & 3/4 cups
- 🤎 100g of marshmallows
- 🤎 20g of butter
- 🤎 1/4 tsp of vanilla essence
- 🤎 1 tbsp of chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Add your chopped butter and marshmallows to a pot on a lower-medium heat on your stove top to melt them. Don’t let it get too hot or it can burn & mix continuously as you melt it. It will take about 3-5 minutes to melt completely. (See note 1*)
While its melting add the vanilla essence & continue to mix to combine
Once melted turn the heat off and add your rice bubbles to the pot & mix together well until they are all coated
Pop into a lined tray 20cm tray, line with a little butter first then baking paper on top to help it stick. Once you pop it in the tray push down to a even layer with your hands or the back or a spoon. Sprinkle your choc chips on top and leave for a few hours to set (See note 2)
Once cooled and set, cut with a sharp knife into pieces and store in an airtight container. You can either cut this into longer logs which you will get 10 or you can do like I have and cut into little squares and get 20
