Ingredients
Butter
4 ounces (Melted)
Sugar
4 ounces (Granulated)
Honey
3 tablespoons (Liquid)
Rice Bubbles
6-8 cups (Plain, use to mix with the syrup)
Instructions
1
Begin by greasing a large baking tin and set aside.
2
In a large pot over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, and honey. Stir continuously until the butter has melted.
3
Once melted, increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning. The longer you let it boil, the crunchier the texture of your treats will be.
4
Remove the pot from heat and quickly fold in the rice bubbles, mixing well until all are evenly coated.
5
Immediately pour the mixture into the greased baking tin and spread it out evenly. Use a spatula or your hands (be careful, it might be hot!) to press it down firmly.
6
While the mixture is still warm, use a knife to lightly score the surface into squares, making it easier to cut once it's set.
7
Allow the treats to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
