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.
Rice Bubbles and Honey Slice Ingredients:
To make this recipe, you will need just four ingredients:
- Rice Bubbles

Tips for Making this Recipe:
- If making this recipe using the conventional method, make sure you use a large saucepan as you want it to be large enough to fit all of the other ingredients in.
- To make this slice a little sweeter, you can add ½ cup (110grams) of caster sugar when melting the butter and honey.

- To store, place in an airtight container and store in the fridge. This slice is best enjoyed within one week of making.
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.

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!
Julia
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
