Ingredients
Base
- 4 cups Rice Bubbles
- 1 block (approx. 180g) white cooking chocolate
- 3 drops peppermint extract
- 4 drops green food colouring (plus extra as needed)
Topping
- 2 large blocks (approx. 160g each) Nestle Aero mint chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the tray: Line a 20 x 20 cm slice tray with baking paper or lightly grease it for easy removal.
- Melt white chocolate: Break the white chocolate block into pieces and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
- Mix Rice Bubbles and white chocolate: In a large bowl, combine the Rice Bubbles with the melted white chocolate. Stir well to fully coat the cereal.
- Add flavor and color: Mix in the peppermint extract and green food colouring. Continue to add food colouring drop by drop until you achieve your desired vibrant green color.
- Press mixture into tray: Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and firmly press it down until evenly compacted. To avoid sticking, lightly oil your hands with non-stick cooking oil while pressing.
- Melt Aero mint chocolate: Break the Aero mint chocolate blocks into small pieces. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until melted. If needed, melt in batches to avoid overcrowding the bowl.
- Top the slice: Pour the melted Aero chocolate evenly over the Rice Bubble base and spread it smoothly to cover the top.
- Chill to set: Place the tray in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set completely, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Cut and serve: Once set, cut the slice into squares and serve as a refreshing and crunchy treat.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe bowl to melt chocolate safely.
- Non-stick cooking oil on your hands helps prevent the mixture from sticking while pressing.
- If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, you can add an additional drop of peppermint extract but be cautious as it’s quite potent.
- Store the slice in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure your Rice Bubbles are certified gluten-free.
