This Rice Bubbles and Honey Slice is a great alternative to store bought rice bubble bars – it can also be made regularly or using a Thermomix too!
You are going to love this easy melt and mix slice, it is just perfect to pop into the kids lunch boxes or enjoy as an afternoon snack.
What are Rice Bubbles?
Rice Bubbles (or Rice Krispies in the USA) are a breakfast cereal that make a ‘snap crackle and pop’ sound when milk is added to them. They will still have a slight crunch when mixed with the other ingredients of this recipe.
Are Rice Bubbles Healthy?
Rice Bubbles are certainly a better option than many other cereals as they have a fairly low sugar content, however they contain very little fibre.

How many serves will you get from this recipe?
I usually cut this slice into small pieces and can get around 20 small pieces. however you can also cut it into thin bars to help it more closely resemble store bought bars – you will get around 12.

Thank you for this recipe… it’s so easy, and not too sweet (my husband doesn’t like super-sweet things). I had some reduced-sugar craisins that needed using up, so I tossed about half a cup of those into the mix too. Turned out well 🙂

How long does this keep for? It looks perfect for a mine craft cake I’m going to make for my son’s birthday and I’m hoping to pre-prep the ingredients a week or so before the party.

Hi Rhiannon, I’ve kept it in the fridge for up to 5 days and it has been ok. Good luck with the minecraft cake, I’m making one next weekend for my son too!

Excellent! Quick and easy!
Made it with “unwanted anymore” choco rice bubbles – had a success! The only thing I omitted is boiling butter with the honey for 5 minutes. After 1 minute of boiling, the mixture started to carmelized, so I took it off.

Hooray! So glad it worked out for you x
