Prepare the Slice Tin:

Make the Peanut Butter Marshmallow:
Add the wai (water), huka one (caster sugar), tote (salt) and paura tetepe (gelatine powder) in to medium pot. Stir with a whisk to combine. Set it over high heat and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for five minutes.
Once cooled slightly, whip on medium to high speed for 8 minutes or until it starts to thicken slightly (like a soft meringue). Add the wanira (vanilla) in the last minute.
Once thick, fold the pata pīnati mīere (honey peanut butter) in with a spatula a few times to gently streak it through the mixture.

Pour it on top of the base and drizzle with a little extra pata pīnati (peanut butter).
Set in the fridge for an hour or so and slice in to pieces. This will last in the fridge, in a sealed container for 5 days.
