Honey Crackle

This was a party treat from way back when, that I never really liked. I didn’t get stuck into it like chocolate or chips. That isn’t stopping me from making it though. Here’s the recipe.

Honey Crackle is basically rice bubbles, butter and honey. I had leftover bubbles from making mars bar slice (forgot to take photos, so no post on that one yet!) and I was getting bored of having them sitting in my kitchen.

It’s super easy, just melt the butter, honey and a splash of vanilla essence, make it simmer and mix it with the bubbles. Set in the fridge and done! I will admit while making this I got some vanilla essence on my fingers and I have a strong memory link of that smell and making choc chip cookies regularly as a kid. I may have sniffed my fingers…

Honey Crackle Recipe

Prep time 10 mins, setting time 1+ hour.

Adapted from Bargain Mum.

Ingredients

  • 125g butter
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 4-5 cups of rice bubbles

Method

  1. Melt butter, honey and vanilla essence in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until mixture thickens and goes a darker honey colour. Remove from heat
  2. Add the rice bubbles and mix to combine.
  3. Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread mixture evenly. I wanted to press it down with my hands, but it seemed too hot, so I chickened out and used the spoon.
  4. Refrigerate until set. Mine only took an hour, but was quite thinly spread.
