- ½ cup butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla paste (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Line a small slice tray with baking paper to prepare for the mixture.
- Step 2: In a small saucepan (preferably non-stick), heat the brown rice syrup and butter together. Simmer for two minutes, stirring constantly to combine.
- Step 3: Place the puffed rice in a large mixing bowl and pour the warm syrup and butter mixture over it. Add vanilla paste at this stage if using, then mix thoroughly.

Tips & Variations
- For a stronger vanilla flavor, don’t skip the vanilla paste—it adds a lovely aroma reminiscent of store-bought slices.
- Make sure to press the mixture firmly into the tray; this helps the slice hold its shape after cutting.
- If packing for school, keep the slice chilled in a cool lunch box to prevent it from becoming sticky.
Storage
Store the rice bubble slices in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them firm, or freeze for longer storage. They will remain well-shaped even when taken out of the fridge but may soften slightly at room temperature.
