Prepare the Slice Tin:

Boil the Simple Caramel:

  • Set a frying pan or large pot over medium heat.
  • Add the pata (butter) and mīere raihi parauri (brown rice malt syrup) in to the pan or pot.
    Bring the simple karamea (caramel) to a simmer, stirring occasionally for a couple of minutes.
  • Once it is bubbling and starts to thicken, reduce the heat to low.
    Then add the pata kākano me te nati (seed and nut mix butter), raukikini whakauruuru (mixed spice), wanira (vanilla) and (tote).
  • Stir for another minute and remove from the heat.

  • Pour the warm peanut butter caramel in to the puarere (rice bubbles) and pū kākano (muesli).
    Whakaranuhia te katoa (combine everything together).

Press the Mixture in to the Tin:

  • Add the mixture in to the prepared slice tin and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon. Take the time to do this so the slices stays together when it is set.
  • Refrigerate for 20 minutes and it is ready to be eaten like this or add the chocolate topping like I did.

    Gently melt it over a low heat and then pour it directly over the keke papatahi puarere (rice bubble slice). Spread it out.
